A stressed project management team of four professionals — including an older man holding his head in frustration, a woman gesturing with concern, and a younger man looking worried — gathered around a large architectural scale model of an industrial facility. Behind them, a screen displays a complex project workflow diagram with coloured arrows (green, yellow, red) converging on a central "project" node. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, a construction site with cranes and trucks is visible in the background. The scene conveys project overruns, logistical complexity, and cost pressures. A bold orange "QLD" banner appears in the top-right corner, suggesting a Queensland, Australia context.
