Working in a Project where Scope, time and cost are modified as the project progresses (design stage). Have anyone worked in this kind of projects? Is this adaptive life cylce?

Though all are fixed/defined at the outset. In agile, time and budget can be stable till certain timeline. Scope may or may not have change. If there is a change in scope(Adaptive), change may consume time and budget. It is result of sacrificing two defined variables in achieving one. In doing so there could be pending backlog and time and budget could ran out. In that case project has to be re-base lined at that point of time.

In agile it happens as project progresses.

I saw you are working in somthing related to Pharma. I have been worked in that domain. My personal experience was we had to follow a standard life cycle to get agreement from the the agency of the government responsible for the regulation of food, medicines, cosmetics, medical devices, biological products and blood derivatives. The life cycle is an industry standard and it is sequential.
Yes, Thanks for explanation

Defining baselines for all legs of the triple constraint at the beginning of a project before sufficient exploration of uncertainty has happened is guaranteeing that either you will carry variances till the end of the project OR you will be having to re-baseline at least once.

I wouldn't call that adaptive, rather it just reflects a lack of project management discipline :-) !

I got that. But, when it comes to redefining these (with no more variances), what would it be called?

if this kind of mgmt is not followed, that means PMP has not considered this situation.
