Institutional Insight: Core Divergence Mechanism

Under identical Ministry rules (General Financial Rules 2017), Venice succeeds because its lightweight curatorial structure bypasses multi-tier infrastructure clearances, operating within a delegated artistic budget window. Conversely, Osaka's mega-pavilion triggers 8 sequential agency sign-offs, re-bidding loops, and international construction compliance—causing work items to stall at the Ministry Finance & Central Tender stage.
