Lesson
Inadequate consideration of the project sites' topography and geological conditions in project feasibility studies and detailed engineering designs could lead to unexpected cost increases during implementation. There was a significant cost increase in land acquisition and resettlement due to changes in the project scope and additional land acquisition that needed to be undertaken because of the complex geological conditions in some sites resulting in increased civil works costs in some packages.

Lesson
Specific requirements for land acquisition and resettlement need to be completed prior to project implementation. Obtaining the necessary clearances and permits early on to meet the pertinent safeguards compliances can help in identifying any risk or grievance issues that can potentially delay the execution of project activities. Under the project, some components were substantially delayed due to the prolonged site turnover including the issuance of the appropriate permits, such as coastal land-use certificate, planning and construction permits, and utility lines.
