Anytime a change is initiated by a grantor during a proposal or RFP has a ripple affect on the timelines and project management of the grant processes but the key word in this article is to be flexible. Lastly with current times being uncertain or quickly chaning for grant writing and grant applications be diligent and allow for a few small adjustments in the timelime and proposal process. This can be helpful in the long-term.

In my experience, this is not strange, and should be factored in the planning phase. Whereas it may lead to some delays, good organizational skills in phasing / re-phasing project implementation activities should adequately cover for it. Sequencing, and re-sequencing activities is obvious over the project implementation face. Lastly, since projects fully depend on funding, the donor should be made aware of the effects of change in requirements mid-stream and know that the timelines could change.
