Ongoing project/Duration

How can a project be ongoing when it has an estimated duration? I am not understanding it.

Hi Paula,

 

The project duration you select when sending proposals is a useful tool to communicate to potential clients how long you estimate you'll need to complete the project, but this may change. On the other hand, contracts are not tied to deadlines, they can go longer than expected and new work may come up that can be done in the same contract. So, ideally, as far as the work continues the contract will be in progress. Long term contracts can even boost your Job Success Score

 

I hope this information is helpful and please let us know if you need any further assistance,

Thanks!
