Questão 20

In relation to this risk, once [blank_start]engagement[blank_end] is accepted, it cannot be [blank_start]controlled[blank_end]. Examples include failure of [blank_start]design[blank_end] (there isn’t one or it doesn’t do what was intended) & failure of [blank_start]operation[blank_end] ([blank_start]control[blank_end] has not operated or not operated as intended)
