I feel like "coordinated undertaking of related activities" is also crucial, but I can't recall if it was part of the answer in the examples we went over.

I'm a little confused by this question. Are all contracts considered projects, or just the ones that meet these specific criteria? I want to make sure I understand the distinction before answering.

Okay, let's see. Routine retail transactions are probably not considered projects, since they're more repetitive. But other contracts would likely meet the criteria of being goal-oriented, coordinated, and having a finite duration. I'll go with D.

Definitely D. Contracts are inherently goal-oriented, coordinated, and have a finite duration. Anything less wouldn't be a proper contract.
