Well in my opinion in the case I have mentionned the risks are :-very high (even unrealistic) customer expectations (I gave you plenty of money and of time so I want my cancer vaccine !!!)-not so motivated team because there is no dead line pressure (oh come on don't be hurry we have 10 years left ...)-cash berserk behaviour (we have plenty of cash so for safety we will buy all our stuffs by ten. We are never cautious enough !)-overconfidence in project success (we have tons of money and so much time that we cannot fail)
