Project Management: Involves defining project scope, setting objectives, resource allocation, scheduling, and risk management.

Project Management: Requires effective stakeholder management, including government agencies, contractors, and affected communities.

Project Management: Employs monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to track progress, ensure quality control, and facilitate timely communication.

Project Management: Utilizes modern tools and techniques, such as integrated planning platforms (e.g., PM Gati Shakti), to enhance efficiency and coordination.

Cost Overruns: Are often caused by inaccurate initial estimates, scope creep, delays in land acquisition or clearances, inflation, unforeseen technical issues, and contractor inefficiencies.

Cost Overruns: Lead to increased public debt, reduced return on investment, delayed realization of project benefits, and opportunity costs for other development initiatives.

Cost Overruns: Can erode public trust and confidence in government's ability to deliver projects efficiently.

Mitigation: Requires robust feasibility studies, comprehensive risk assessment, contingency planning, stringent contract management, transparent procurement, and continuous monitoring.

Mitigation: Focus on performance-based contracts and stricter accountability for all stakeholders involved in project execution.

Impact: Directly affects the fiscal health of the government and the overall economic viability of the project.
