Inadequate consideration of the terrain, topography, and other physical characteristics of the project site may lead to design changes, with implications on project scope and costs. Separate procurement packages involving environmental mitigation measures cannot considered in the hilly region. This resulted in a reduction of targets in rural roads as funds were reallocated to new protection work packages.
