Lesson
The lessons from delayed construction of the Huangpu Road WWTP showed necessity of securing domestic approval in advance, prior to the loan effectiveness. If flooding control permission had been approved earlier, construction of the plant could have been completed on schedule and thus the overall project output could have been delivered completely. The lessons learned from procuring the design, supply, and installation contract for the Huangpu Road WWTP were meaningful for improving procurement efficiency in similar projects and contracts.

Lesson
The project experienced significant delay in implementation and in delivering the project outputs. This was mainly caused by the construction delay of the Huangpu Road WWTP, which was completed in August 2015, 1.5 years after the loan closing.

Engineering design works could be further improved with more detailed on-site survey and adequate geological exploration to minimize contract variations during implementation due to unexpected geological conditions and missing items in the bill of quantities.

Lesson
Procurement of civil works should take full consideration of LAR (land acquisition and resettlement) progress. Otherwise, even if procurement is completed quickly, it may not be possible to commence contract execution. Furthermore, disputes may also arise if land cannot be acquired and transferred to contractors on time.

Lesson
As one of the first batch of comprehensive urban development projects in the PRC (People's Republic of China), lessons were learned with respect to LAR (land acquisition and resettlement) : (i) LAR impacts for urban projects usually are larger due to the high population density in urban or semi-urban areas; (ii) compensation rates could rise during implementation due to increased value of land and affected persons' property; and (iii) LAR implementation is influenced by the pace of urbanization rather than the schedules for individual projects, and that may result in delays which

The project helped develop the EMS (environmental management system) to enhance environmental management of the SBIZ (Southern Baiyin Industrial Zone). This enabled the BHTIP (Baiyin High-Tech Industrial Park) to become an environmentally friendly industrial park demonstrating 'circular' economic development.

Cost estimation. The initial cost estimates based on the feasibility-level design were inaccurate. Cost estimates based on a detailed design, together with an analysis of unit rates and price escalation factors, would have produced more reliable estimates which would have helped to reduce the implementation delays early in the project.

Incorporating lessons and risk mitigation. Previous ADB-funded road projects in Mongolia had shown that the MRT and contractors have limited experience and that there have been problems with contractors' mobilization efforts. These lessons were not sufficiently incorporated in the implementation arrangements.

ADB missions and Resident Mission support. During the early stages, the project would have benefited from more frequent missions by suitably qualified staff, as well as the involvement of an international transport staff person at the Mongolia Resident Mission to support project implementation.

Provisions for price escalation in civil works contracts. The absence of such provisions contributed to repeated contract terminations and delays. In inflationary conditions, contracts need to include provisions for price escalation.

Executing agencies' recruitment of consultants remains time-consuming and was the main reason for start-up delays. This problem is not specific to the project but is common in all ADB-financed projects in Viet Nam. Delays in recruiting consultants result in delay of such project activities as detailed design, resettlement planning, environmental management planning, and preparing bidding documents.
