I've been considering whether projects with millions of witnesses, such as the Olympic Games or the World Cup, are more likely to be delivered on time due to the high level of scrutiny and accountability. Conversely, it seems that projects with fewer stakeholders or a smaller impact might experience more frequent delays. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on whether a larger audience and increased visibility contribute to timely project completion, or if other factors play a more significant role. Saving Changes...

In my personal experience including I led project with different orders of magnitude (some close to olympic games) the key is to create the right structure of accountability to put in place a good "cascade management" process. Saving Changes...
The number of distinct KEY stakeholder groups is certainly one determinant of project complexity and as project complexity increases, the likelihood of cost, schedule, quality or other variances does increase so I'd say there is certainly some influence from that.
Put another way, the more cats you have to herd, the longer it takes to get them to their destination :-)

Eduard, I totally agree with Kiron. With the increase in number of stakeholders, the number of communication channels multiplies which does add complexity to projects! Saving Changes...
