In this exploration, research information was collected through library study of theoretical foundations. Then, by using the qualitative content analysis method, the research findings were obtained. The results of this research show that having project mindset as well as exploiting the nature and coordinates of the project as a resilient temporary system, especially by reorganizing the system and buffering (time, cost, quality, resources, etc.) to recover to past conditions, when facing accidents and events unpredictability can play a significant role in the effective progress of affairs.
