Incomplete contract in private finance initiative(PFI): a modified Delphi study

Incomplete contract (IC) is a contract that fails to state all the parties’ rights and obligations, has gaps and ambiguities in its terms and conditions. Literature had discussed the reasons of IC are due to long duration of the contract, high risk and uncertainty, high transaction cost, bounded rat...
