The six phases of a big project are a cynical take on the outcome of big projects, with an unspoken assumption of their inherent tendency toward failure. The list is reprinted in slightly different compositions in any number of project management books as a cautionary tale.
One such example gives the phases as:[1]
- Enthusiasm,
- Disillusionment,
- Panic and hysteria,
- Search for the guilty,
- Punishment of the innocent, and
- Praise and honor for the nonparticipants.
