Lesson
Freight transportation was initially the major benefit envisaged under this project. Since decisions to change railway corridor priorities, e.g., the balance between a high-speed passenger railway versus freight railway services, are usually the basis of a railway services plan, the modification in project design should have been known even at the appraisal stage since the Chongqing–Lichuan Railway (CLR) was to be a section of the Shanghai-Wuhan-Chengdu corridor high-speed passenger railway.

The two project components—addressing port sector policy, institutional, and regulatory issues; and preparing the technical and economic feasibility study for the SHDP— were combined into one consultancy contract. Of the total 288 person-months, 12 person-months (less than 5%) were directly allocated for JCT business reorganization and corporatization. The bulk (225 person-months) was allocated for PPP and/or engineering works or what could also be considered as PPP transactional services.
