Tbob418, I agree with your comments on 'My point is that I've never read a full list of things to expect for everything to become operational and profitable, just every month or week, a new piece of the puzzle.'
Having managed many projects I recognise things go wrong and people make mistakes but it's normally the odd issue (some big) but normally just typical reservations that need resolution. Only once has a project gone 'bad' and that was a pilot plant, called up too large, but it was the fundamental technology which was wrong that could don't be delivered.
It does appear the scope, project remit, definition etc etc that was flawed from the start although a conventional project delivery plan may have taken longer. My only concern is if the raw material spec was wrong in the first place this can have serious consequences for much longer. I've seen CS vessels be eaten through in 2 months due to incorrect materials specified although the logic for their choice appeared correct.
