The next phases are detailed planning of restoration measures, planning of project assessment and project implementation. The final phase, utilization, includes maintenance measures, evaluation of project success, adaptive management and the communication of results. Throughout all phases of the project, the general political and societal framework conditions are taken into account. In short, project managers must deal with complex processes and consider the contextual analysis [7]. 

In addition to the implementation process, evaluation of the project s success is the core of a restoration project. However, many projects do not take this final check, which is a prerequisite for adaptive management, into consideration. Bernhardt et al. [23] found that only 10% of project records (out of 37,099 projects) indicated that any form of assessment or monitoring was carried out. In most European countries, the estimated proportion of success evaluation is in the same range or even lower. Project evaluation through systematic data collection serves to verify whether the project objectives that were defined during the planning phase have been achieved [24]. Therefore, project evaluation is the process of examining the...
