Introduction Background of the StudyNot all well formulated projects end up being successful in terms of realization of the intended goals, satisfaction and acceptance by the end users and adherence to timelines, quality and cost budgetary provisions (Kerzner, 2017). Traditionally, project performance had largely been limited to three indicators of time, quality and costs. However, there are growing concerns with unresolved debate among researchers on whether performance of the project should be restricted to these measures. In whichever cases, failure of the project to meet these indicators of quality, cost and time will have a significant adverse effect on success and overall performance of the project. Poor quality standards in project may increase the project costs. Demirkesen and Ozorhon (2017) confirm that in United States, nonconformance to quality in construction costs result into 12% of the total project costs. Similarly, Oppong, Chan and Dansoh (2017) argue that failure to adhere to quality standards of the projects results into rework which push the overall costs of the project by 2-12 % of all the costs of the project.The initiation phase helps in defining and determining the nature and scope of the project to be undertaken. This is an important phase of the project because when it is not well performed, the ability of the project to meet the expectations of the community will have been compromised (MacMillan, Loseto& Hoover, 2017). Furthermore, this initiation phase lays the foundation for the subsequent phases of the project that ultimately results into project success and performance. The initiation phase makes sure that the required technical specifications have been integrated within the project (Boeraeve, Dufrene, De-Vreese, Jacobs, Pipart, Turkelboom&Dendoncker, 2018). The initiation phase of the project helps in initiation of the stakeholders (both legitimate and the valid ones), with their respective powers towards the project success. Involving stakeholders at the project initiation phase reduces conflicts across the subsequent phases of the project and ultimately makes the project to be accepted by the final end users after closure (Flifel, Zakić&Tornjanski, 2017).Project monitoring ensures that the planned activities are compared with the actual performance so as to determine progress and final performance of the project. On the other hand, evaluation of the process through which the real situation of the project is determined and it helps in determining whether the project is being operated as required or
