          "A network expansion needs coordinated hydraulic design and operating boundaries, not merely additional pipe length. Engineering comparisons should check pumping duties, interconnection conditions and the staged start-up plan. Design capacity should be distinguished from throughput already achieved, especially where upstream production and downstream export facilities enter service on different schedules."

A physical construction milestone is evidence of progress, while acceptance, permits and sustained operation require their own confirmation. Review the interfaces with the owner, equipment suppliers and other contractors, including the testing responsibility, operating documentation, handover conditions and treatment of outstanding work."
