Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The project described follows an S-shaped life cycle, characterized by a slow start (initial planning took longer), a rapid middle phase (structure was erected quickly), and a slow end (finishing touches took a lot of time). This pattern resembles the S-curve, where progress is slow at the beginning and end but fast in the middle.
