Managing project timelines with clients/stakeholders that view time as non-linear.

Does anyone have any insight or experience into how to set up/manage projects with clients who think about time differently? For example, I know a consultant who has many Indigenous clients who think about time in a "circular" manner...for them, it's more important to get to the "right" result than it is to meet project deadlines. This causes challenges in both establishing project budgets as well as determining project time lines.

Any insights into how to manage this sort of situation would be greatly appreciated!

Dear Shanon ;

I suggest the following :

1- Review the Contract issued by your customer
2-Develop the Project Charter
2-Buld your Baseline Time Schedule based on Milestone dates mentioned in the contract
3-Call for Internal kick off meeting with your project team and assign action items
4- Call for External kick off meeting with your customer and Consultant and discuss the implemented Baseline Schedule and all prerequisites prepared by your team.
5-Share MOM with all stakeholders
6-Revise Baseline Time schedule and send it officially to customer for his approval.
7-After you can prepare the Cost Projection of your project
