          "The announcement closes the contractor’s stated construction scope, while the export system’s operating sequence involves additional interfaces. Pipeline readiness should be assessed against terminal coordination, control-system integration and the owner’s acceptance process. Ready-for-operation status and sustained commercial throughput are separate milestones with different evidence requirements."

          "For procurement and project comparisons, distinguish the contracted package from the wider development. 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."
