Research shows that critical management of the design phase of the project life cycle is particularly important, as decisions made in this phase of a project
often have the greatest impact on the eventual total project cost (Paulson, 1976 cited in Kuprenas, 2003). This week, you read about the four phases of
project design: programming, schematic design, design development, and construction documents. In addition, you reviewed a study on the causes of
project design delays and their effects on the success of a construction project.

For this Application Assignment, you will examine the roles of the four design phases in the project life cycle and analyze their relationship to a project’s
completion. In your analysis, be sure to address the following:
Documents used in each design phase
Authors of the documents
Stakeholders and their roles in each design phase
Effects that delays in the design phases have on project costs, schedules, and completion
