D seems a bit off. Isn’t contractor approval more of a detail?

Wait, can a project really change scope that easily? Sounds risky.

I think A makes a lot of sense too. Closing orderly is key!

B is definitely the best reason. It gives the board a chance to evaluate.

I was leaning towards C because changing scope is crucial, but now I'm questioning if that's the best reason for having stages.

I feel like I've seen a question like this before, and I think it was about the importance of decision points. So, B seems right to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about stages helping with project closure. Maybe option A is also a good choice?

I think option B makes the most sense since having stages allows the project board to evaluate progress and decide on the next steps.
