“…Whereas extant studies pointed to the temporal dimension of project success as one dimension among others (Ika & Pinto, 2022), we draw attention to the inherent temporality of project success. Using the notion of temporality , we grant the passing of time ontological status (Hernes, 2022; Vaagaasar et al, 2023) in how project success evolves.…”

“…(Hernes, 2022, p. v) Instead of emphasizing differences between a project's past, present, and future, as the over-time view does, treating these as separate moments or periods in time, a through-time perspective focuses on the temporal wholeness of a project. It captures the distinguishable temporal pattern that a project attains as it moves through time, what we, adopting a situated temporal view, may call a project's temporality (Hernes, 2022;Vaagaasar et al, 2023). This pattern is never settled but remains subject to ongoing remaking in light of the potentialities presented by each new present (Hernes, 2022).…”

This article advances a temporal understanding of project success through a process study of Vindeby, an exploratory project developing the world’s first offshore wind farm. Pursuing a situated temporal view, our findings reveal how actors constructed Vindeby’s success differently when seeing the project as future, present, and past and how these constructions mutually shaped each other. Adding to prior literature adopting an over-time or in-time perspective, we develop a through-time perspective of project success and a model explaining the interplay of the three perspectives. We discuss how projects may serve as temporal stepping stones toward sustainable futures in the green transition and propose ways for project managers and policymakers to nurture this potential.

“…Yet, temporality encompasses much more. As the authors elucidate, temporality is rooted in a non-linear conception of time, wherein the past, present and future are mutually constitutive (Vaagaasar et al , 2023; see also Hernes, 2022). This ontological understanding of temporality challenges the conventional sequential view of time in projects, thus opening avenues for a richer understanding of the project.…”

“…For example, chapter 2 on uncertainty offers analytic (akin risk) and cognitive (akin uncertainty) perspectives on "what we can know about the future" (Winch, 2023, p. 13), and discusses the strengths and weakness of each in the context of complex project organizing. Vaagaasar et al (2023) in chapter 5, explore the concept of temporality in project organizing. Temporality is a crucial concept for project researchers, not least because what distinguishes projects from other forms of organization is their temporal boundariesprojects start with an expectation of ending (Lundin and S€ oderholm, 1995).…”
