Which of the three universal and three common characteristics of projects are displayed in the regular torch relay?  Universal characteristics: Unique, one-time occurrence, and finite duration.  Common characteristics: Interdependencies, resources, conflict. 2. Since this is such a regular project—every 4 years since 1936— would you consider it a nonproject or a quasi-project? Why or why not?  I would consider this a project. Since each relay will not be managed routinely. Since each town or country will have
