In a school district, a renovated lab can be declared complete while the teacher who inherits it has no plan for maintaining its equipment. A curriculum can be approved while the next instructor is left to reconcile its assumptions with the reality of the classroom.

From the perspective of the people delivering the project, the work is finished. For the people inheriting it, the real test has just begun.
