Will it ever get built?, page-35

Where things are out of control and up to others, eg the licensing ‘Saga’, one would have to agree with your comments regarding timings. But this element is almost wholly within their control as a company and it is up to them to manage their subcontract hire. The comment of ‘over promising and underdelivering’ is one I have heard a lot in Australian mining and other major infrastructure projects. It’s like the de facto stance to the point that the statement ‘under promise and overdeliver is the mantra’ is what you hear of over and over. To be frank and for the shareholders and clients that rely on information that is accurate regarding the status of projects it is unacceptable and shouldn’t be he norm. It’s all so very ‘Civil’ EngiSneering.
