项目已经成为现代组织中流行的工作形式。大型项目可以被看作是项目世界中的野兽，它们很难驯服，以其复杂性，庞大的规模，昂贵的成本和漫长的时间框架而闻名。这些项目给国家的地理和人民的生活带来了巨大的变化。其中一些大型项目成为一个国家的标志性建筑，带来了巨大的繁荣，但有些却成为令人难忘的灾难。巨型项目的定义之一是，它们是成本超过10亿美元的项目。大型项目的例子包括“英吉利海峡隧道”、“2012年伦敦奥运会”和“Ormen Lange近海项目”。尽管已经指出了管理大型项目的一些陷阱和挑战，但执行此类项目的相关性和必要性吸引了行业（从业人员）和学术界。在管理大型项目时，必须解决许多重大问题。本文重点介绍了迄今为止采取的不同举措，并试图找到缺失的专业知识领域，以了解大型项目的特点和管理。
Projects have become popular work form in modern organizations. Megaprojects can be seen as the wild beasts in the project world, they are hard to tame, known for their complexity, vast size, expensive cost, and long time frame. These projects bring big changes in the geography of countries and life of people. Some of these megaprojects become landmarks for a country and bring significant prosperity, but some become unforgettable catastrophes. One of the definitions of megaprojects is that they are the projects in which the cost exceeds one billion US dollars. Examples of megaprojects include, “Channel tunnel”, “London Olympics 2012” and “Ormen Lange offshore project”. Though several pitfalls and challenges have been pointed out with respect to managing megaprojects, the relevance and the need of carrying out this kind of projects attract both the industries (practitioners) and academics. There are many significant issues that must be addressed in connection with managing megaprojects. This paper focuses on the different initiatives taken to date, presents them and tries to find the area of the missing expertise to understand the characteristics and the management of megaprojects.
