Project readiness and utility relocation. Project preparation had some weaknesses during the design phase, especially in site reconnaissance and consideration of design alternatives. Strengthening this aspect would avoid problems and associated delays in project implementation. Relocation of electricity poles and telecommunication lines was a common problem faced in almost all contract packages. Therefore, early and precise identification and preparation - such as sufficient survey provision, accurate cost estimation, adequate and timely budgeting, and adequate coordination with concerned departments and state organizations - should be incorporated into future subprojects.
