Introduction
In the given book by (Cooke-Davies, 2011), Loch and Payne have described the word complexity in a project of Deepwater Horizon as something that makes the accomplishment of project goals difficult. Due to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, marine organisms faced the effect of toxic substances such as PAHs (polyaromatic hydrocarbons). This Oil Spill took place in the Gulf of Mexico that led to the owners of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem to bring on a project on this and think of some feasible solutions. Loch and Payne gave few solutions for this like if a project small or large is divided into smaller fragments, it will become easier to complete it. They say that technical skills are required to achieve project success. However, better interaction with the team and the client can help in completing the project in an efficient manner. To resolve the issue of complexity, the role of strategy is discussed by Loch and Payne.  
Case Study
They say that the strategy used for project influences the way it is delivered to a client. Furthermore, strategic planning and decision help to create a good reputation among the clients. Strategies help in clarifying the list of activities that will be going to be used during the project.
