“…A second contribution is to separate the inherent features into technical and institutional domains and to develop these two in a parallel fashion. A third contribution is to connect complexity with the concept of project architecting, developed initially in Miller and Lessard (2001) and extended in Lessard and Miller (2012).…”

“…Although the IMEC projects have been analyzed extensively in Miller and Lessard (2001) and other works, and have led to a number of theoretical frameworks, the cases have not been studied in depth to gain insight into the idea of project complexity per se. For our purposes, the data can therefore be considered to be a new sample.…”

“…Project architects are the subset of a LIP's stakeholders that work actively to take the project from concept to reality (Miller and Lessard, 2001;Lessard and Miller, 2012;Merrow, 2011). While stakeholders can be thought of as all the individuals and entities that are affected by a project and may even influence its development, the architects are those that actively and directly influence, control, design or manage some aspect of the LIP's progress.…”

“…The process of risk emergence is mapped in parallel to the right of the structural House in Figure 4. The discussion of risks is well developed in Miller and Lessard (2001) and Lessard and Miller (2012).…”

“…We then relate these to various the high-level project outcomes and emergent properties of the LIP -the "ilities." A second contribution is to separate the inherent features into technical and institutional domains and to develop these two in a parallel fashion A third contribution is to connect complexity with the concept of project architecting, developed initially in Miller and Lessard (2001) and extended in Lessard and Miller (2012). Project architecting subsumes two process-based lenses, almost always treated separately -project shaping, and systems design and engineering.…”
