Uncertainty is the death knell for business. If a potential investor looks at a project and is not really sure what the requirements will be on their initial study, it will kill it on the boardroom table without going beyond a preliminary investigation. If they can't put some degree of certainty around a project, then the project doesn't really get legs and doesn't get the sponsorship behind the approvers.
