re: selling has dried up... timing Everything should be okay if the management understands the political and cultural environment they are working in, and are a bit street smart. The way they resolved this problem without losing the project leaves me confident that they know how to work their way through the system and where to look for support without caving in to those bureaucrats that imagine they have more power than they do.
A good example of how much a company can quietly achieve in difficult environments if it understands the system is Soul Pattison who turned a small coal mine in Indonesia into a bonanza.
