When a vendor won’t adopt crucial specifications, maintaining project momentum can be challenging. Here’s how to navigate this tricky situation:

• Open a dialogue: Clearly explain why the new specifications are critical and how they benefit both parties.

• Seek alternatives: If the vendor remains inflexible, explore other vendors or in-house solutions to meet your needs.

• Document everything: Keep detailed records of communications and decisions to protect your project's integrity.
