The Government of Ghana has secured a $500 million loan facility from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to initiate a significant infrastructure program as part of its 2030 Sustainable Development Goal agenda. This program aims to construct transport interchanges in all 16 regional capitals of Ghana. The primary objectives of this project are to enhance transportation efficiency, alleviate congestion, and improve the overall mobility of residents and commuters across the country. As part of this initiative, it has been identified that five of the 16 regions already have interchanges in varying stages of completion, but have been abandoned for several years. You have been hired as the National Project Manager to oversee the successful completion of these 16 interchanges (including the existing ones). Use your knowledge of project management to provide a short report (not more than 2500 words) to the Minister of Transport on the following questions:

1. Provide a short analysis of why the five (5) existing interchanges may have failed to be completed successfully
2. What are the main components of a project plan that you will propose for the construction and completion of the 16 interchanges?
3. How would you organize and coordinate the construction activities to ensure efficient progress and successful completion?
4. What strategies would you implement to monitor and control the project schedule to ensure timely completion?
5. How would you ensure that the construction work meets quality standards and specifications
