Project complexity is the property of a project which makes it difficult to understand, foresee, and keep under control its overall behavior, even when given reasonably complete information about the project system.<ref name="Springer-Verlag">{{Cite book|last1=Marle|first1=Franck|title=Managing Complex, High Risk Projects - A Guide to Basic and Advanced Project Management|last2=Vidal|first2=Ludovic‐Alexandre|date=2016|publisher=Springer-Verlag|___location=London}}</ref>
With a lens of systems thinking, project complexity can be defined as an intricate arrangement of the varied interrelated parts in which the elements can change and evolve constantly with an effect on the project objectives.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bakhshi |first1=Javad |last2=Ireland |first2=Vernon |last3=Gorod |first3=Alex |title=Clarifying the project complexity construct: Past, present and future |journal=International Journal of Project Management |date=1 October 2016 |volume=34 |issue=7 |pages=1199–1213 |doi=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijproman.2016.06.002 |s2cid=113426565 }}</ref> The identification of complex projects is specifically important to multi-project engineering environments.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Vidal|first1=Ludovic-Alexandre|last2=Marle|first2=Franck|last3=Bocquet|first3=Jean-Claude|date=2011|title=Measuring project complexity using the Analytic Hierarchy Process|url=https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01215358/file/Vidal%20et%20al%20-%202011%20-%20IJPM%20-%20Measuring%20project%20complexity%20using%20the%20AHP.pdf|journal=International Journal of Project Management|language=en|volume=29|issue=6|pages=718–727|doi=10.1016/j.ijproman.2010.07.005}}</ref>
