Question 4 When we talk about conflict on projects, there are several typical sources of conflict that could arise on any project. List eight common sources of conflict on projects, and for each one, referring to and providing examples from the case study below, discuss the possibility of such conflicts arising in the project in the case study. One mark will be allocated for the heading, one mark for the example and one mark each for the discussion. (24Marks)

A crown palace for the firfth great Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan was to be built as a tomb upon his death (Ahuja & Rajani, 2016). Similar to the Egyptians, the belief was that there was a journey after death and these grand tombs would facilitate the transition to the afterlife. The purpose was to build a mausoleum for Shah Jahan when he died (Kozak-Holland, 2011). The mausoleum also had to be built within his lifetime. The Taj Mahal was thus built for the same purpose as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The mausoleum would also serve as a memorial for Shah Jahan's wife, Mumtaz Mahal. She would have her remains buried in the mausoleum upon completion. Previous architectural principles and designs from the Persians and earlier Mughals were to be used for the mausoleum. The mausoleum required very experienced and skilled individuals. This culminated in a team of 37 designers and architects. The emperor was actively involved in selecting the architectural design as he wanted the mausoleum to be truly unique. The principal architect was Ismail Khan who worked for the Turkish Ottomans. Finances and administration of daily duties were handled by reputable Persians: Mukrimat Khan and Mir Abdul Karim. Master masons supervised masonry and a goldsmith was tasked to cast the gold which caps the dome. The workforce required 20 000 men from Persia, France, Iran, Italy and Turkey. The project made use of three stone types: common stones, semi-precious and rare, scarce stones. The mausoleum faced similar challenges to the Great Pyramid of Giza: site preparation, brick production, quarry operations, logistics, workforce accommodation and ramp construction and removal. Construction of the mausoleum began in 1631 AD. The construction took the following sequence: The plinth and tomb construction, the Taj Gateway and garden construction, and the outstanding sections were built in phases. The foundation was built by resting each supporting beam on deep rubble and concrete holes which were connected by arches. The building has not shifted in over 385 years, which is testament to this technique. Concentric circles were applied to the double dome and were 2 m thick. Moreover, no pillars were used to support the double dome structure of 50 m high and 13 000 tons. The outer minarets were tiled outwards so that they fell away from the main building in the event of an earthquake. An animal-powered water system was developed to deliver water to the main building. Flooding from the nearby river was a concern during construction. Wells were subsequently dug so that any excess water would be absorbed before affecting the foundation. Large marble blocks and materials required precise placement in the structure. This was achieved and managed via the construction of a 15 km tamped-earth ramp from Agra to the site.
