hi....

about the need.. This is true of any business..phasing of investment so as to Maximise the Return on Investment, generate positive cash flow, sensitivity to business risk delays, market, interests etc

I suggest that you chose a topic especially a BOOT project (Road, Bridge, Airport etc) and it will definitely demand that you use your knowledge of Finance, Project planning as they are mutually inclusive. A change in one affects the other.

Project risk insurance to counter- liabilities in case of defects and liquidated damages also has to be factored in the project cost
