In corporate relationships it very much, contrary to popular belief( just like a personal relationship), on many respects. A novices misnomer to imagine that anything corporate is without common sense or inherent latitudes.

Do you think that both these parties would not understand that the essence of a new project is not going to be without some learning curve ? There are no contract police with guns and badges making people crazy.. These are strong relationship that have an aspect of friendship. When you are working with your partners in the heat in mine in S Africa you get to have a few (or More) beers with your contract buddies.
