Lesson
Project monitoring should be close enough to identify if key project design assumptions are being put at risk (such as when the LGRDD, through the PCO, became the executing agency of the project), and if consequent shifts in project direction are likely (such as when PCO management was taken over by staff members deputed from the Housing, Urban Development and Public Health Engineering Department and focus was shifted toward infrastructure investments), and to avoid the shift in direction unless all parties agree to it.

Lesson
Although one of the key features of project design was that urban projects need an integrated approach and infrastructure alone cannot result in improved services, unless capacities, resources, and systems are in place to sustainably deliver these services—the project design failed to ensure that all project stakeholders shared this view and were committed to it. Stakeholder analysis and ways to ensure the commitment of stakeholders to project design initiatives is thus recommended.

It is essential that adequate compensation mechanisms are built into the project design and implemented. If this had been undertaken, it might have preempted the need for a protracted and expensive system for redressing grievances. Rapid compensation is highly desirable. If compensation is delayed, land values may increase and resettlers may no longer consider defined compensation rates to be adequate.
