Abstract
Too many large engineering/science projects fail in terms of budget overruns, schedule slippage, or underperformance, and this has profound implications not only for the construction and commissioning organizations, but also for the funders (public or private) and the clients or users. Successful design and delivery is therefore not only a commercial necessity but also a societal imperative. Success in complex mega-projects is not easily achieved and is interpreted differently by various stakeholders. Moreover, there is growing recognition of the importance of front-end shaping. In this chapter, the author addresses the inception, planning, and feasibility phases of complex mega-projects in some depth, based on extant and updated research of large-scale high-technology science projects. Five key success drivers are explained and, when addressed together, are shown to be especially potent. This chapter draws out subtle aspects of mega-project management shown to be crucial at the preliminary, or start-up, phase.

Teaching Project Management Principles by Proverbs in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Environments: Ten Years of Experience With International Students
The time elapsed from the moment a need is identified and intended to be addressed and solved (call this need ‘problem’) until the moment this problem is completely solved – which is the project purpose. The project lifecycle is composed of several phases: problem identification and definition; feasibility phase; project planning; ex ante evaluation; implementation; ex post evaluation. Another name for ‘project lifecycle’ is ‘project life span’.

Innovation Management in Research and Development Projects: Key Performance Factors Oriented to Industrialization of Results and Market
A standard project typically has the following four major phases (each with its own agenda of specific tasks): initiation, planning, implementation, and closure. These set of phases represent the path a project takes from the beginning to its end and are referred to as the project lifecycle.
