Construction of any item takes place in two stages: The Building/Ordering in phase, and the Construction/Labour phase.
Building/Ordering phase
The relevant facility constructs parts to be used for the construction of the item, or it orders in parts from other facilities that have already been built.
Construction/Labour phase
The actual item is put together. If any item is cancelled, parts for the item may be retained at that facility for future use or transfer to a different facility. There might also be an “unbuild” or “move to a different location” so that a building may be evacuated if a player chooses to move it away (and it could take as many days as the construction phase).
Notes
It is currently undecided how private-owned facilities (such as shipyards) will play a role.
