Abstract: Abstract Engineering and construction (E&C) infrastructure projects are unique, complex and have historical trends of cost–time overruns and lapses in coping with the increasing challenges and opportunities. E&C projects neither have one single right way to organise nor resolve the challenges. Technology, though not always matured, is now more easily available. This chapter focuses on people issues and contributes a strategic project management leadership (SPML) framework with learning/experiencing facilities for leadership capacity development and integration across project management (PM) levels for transformational change. With organisational support, over time, the SPML is expected to advance innovative leadership capacities of the individuals, infrastructure PM, and the organisation to reduce cost–time overruns and to cope with the challenges and opportunities for sustainability.
