QUESTION TWO $[20]$

EcoBuild Corp, a leading sustainable construction company, undertook the construction of "Green

Future Mall," a state$-$of$-$the$-$art, eco$-$friendly shopping complex in the heart of Springfield Park.

Despite the ambitious vision and potential benefits of the "Green Future Mall," the project was

ultimately deemed a failure. It was completed over a year behind schedule and significantly over

budget.

Many of the advanced sustainable features did not work as intended, leading to operational issues

and higher$-$than$-$expected maintenance costs. As a competent project consultant, discuss some of

the factors that could have been prioritized to avoid this outcome.
