Buyouts and terminations are clearly identifiable. Major problems are subjective and projects have been included that have experienced one or more of the following: persistent poor performance; significant construction failure; contractor went into administration; cost overruns and delays (impact on public sector); excessive operational charges; major legal disputes; and prevention of public policy implementation (Scotland). 43% of delayed projects also included a price increase (NAO, 2009). See Table 12, Appendix C for details of 43 major problem contracts.
