The Project Life Cycle Pain Curve is from:

While it may be all to real for those who have
been through a rough project, it really is a "pain" curve. Proper
project planning can be painful. It takes the commitment of a lot
of people (and some money, usually) to take a concept, directive
or enforcement action and turn it into a successful project. Such
planning is even more difficult in the environmental business
because most, if not all, of what we do does not generate any
profit. While it can be characterized as just another cost of
doing business, an environmental expense can be huge, and
on-going. With proper planning, and the application of good
science, these expenses can be controlled.
