"If that means we have to tear
something up and redo it, then
that's what we have to do," she

inc lude possible solutions, so he
is unsure about how any changes

One possible explanation for
the problems is the process by
which the complex is being

GMGG for short Basically, it
means that many adjustments
and refinements are made during
the construction phase, rather
than during the design phase.
