Too many...

Starting with engineering

- to determine the exact intention of the customer, to offer the best solutions and to find the most favorable compromise between available funds, available utility resources(power, water, etc) and the output of the plant

- to accurately determine the challenges of civil works, since they may heavily impact costs.

- to accurately split procurement procedures between LLIs and SLIs

- to find the best compromise between reliability and cost of subcontractors

- to find a proper commissioning procedure and to do it accurately.

I may have omitted some others, but I preferred to stick to the general issues, and not enter in details, which may have lead to a whole scientific work
