The status of each phase will be indicated by the color of the phase number via the following colouring legend:

Green - On schedule
Red – Behind Schedule
Amber - Ahead of Schedule

For example “Phase 1” would be on schedule because it is coloured green.

The status of the project will be updated giving anyone visiting our site an indication of the progress of Project Icarus which will span the next 5 years.
