Megaprojects

Reasons why megaprojects fail. Academics have identified 18 reasons why megaprojects such as HS2 and Crossrail often fail, as well as 54 preventative solutions. For the first time, academics developed a systematic literature review of the causes and cures of poor megaproject performance. They identified six key themes and looked at areas where a project might fail, analyzing the problems and solutions. Source 2o.

Megaprojects are pretty much self-explanatory, they are huge projects with a lot of money involving a lot of operations taking place.

You will need superb architectural planning and people to work on these mega projects to ensure an absence of failure.
