Unforseen project / integration challenges could arise during transition between the end of the construction stage and operational commencement. These could occur, for example, when the completion of scheduled tasks / deliverables are delayed typically resulting from resourcing constraints and / or technical complications. These types of issues can impact on service delivery performance and detract from achieving VfM outcomes. See Table 6.12 for the sub-issue and case study examples identified.

- Project / integration challenges | - Ineffective implementation of transition plans can impact on operations as well as damaging relations between public and private partners - Serious issues can arise during transition periods that were not envisaged during the project's design and construction stages |
