Abstract
This paper proposes three high-level project meta-phases to enhance the understanding of how projects are created and their long-term impacts after completion. It extends the traditional view of the projects to include activities which occur before the initiation of the project and after the closeout phase. These meta-phases are project conception, project execution, and deliverable use. These meta-phases are described and explained in terms of their usefulness for project management research.
