SUMMARY LESSONS LEARNED

•  Change processes need to be clearly defined, with incentives to respond in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary prolongation of change agreement and implementation.

•  Engage with stakeholders and address land access issues early to avoid the risk of failure to secure land access and delays while the construction is progressing.

•  Shared data and information management systems used by the Project Company and Procuring Authority must be compatible and meet each party's respective requirements.

•  Periodic meetings should not be overcrowded such that they are unmanageable and ineffective.

•  The timing of Environmental Impact Assessments for linear projects is critical, so as not to cause delays on the project.
