Privately Financed Infrastructure (PFI) projects are characterized by huge and irreversible investments and are faced with various risks. Project performance risks, such as project completion time and costs, affect the project value significantly, particularly in project development phase. This is because a major part of the project investments are made during this phase. Due to high uncertainties in managing the project performance risks…
