Before I create from scratch, I'm looking for a checklist to use that might be valuable for a peer review of a project for a colleague, or, that could be used when taking over or assessing a project to ensure it's constructed effectively with regards to resources, schedule, planning elements, monitoring, etc.

A recovery plan is all about how to close the gap between expectations and performance. The first thing you need to do is clearly define the problem. Without that, any checklist or even guidance on a solution path would be overly broad to the point of being useless.

The problem I've had with gap analysis is that expectations are poorly defined and performance inadequately measured and reported.

Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" for project health. While you could find examples in the templates section of this community, you should confirm against your organization's PM policy or standards as to what constitutes a healthy vs. a troubled project and build an assessment tool aligned with that.

Project auditors can probably provide you with a suitable sample.

There is no such checklist. Agree with Keith's comments.

You have to look at where the project is. Where you want to head ?
Some examples are producing an achievable schedule, reestablishing the baseline in project plan, sorting project problems and rebuilding the team (especially dealing with conflicts and reaching a resolution).
