The transition from Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) to Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPCI) is a critical phase in upstream oil and gas projects, where design maturity, cost, and schedule risks are highly exposed. This study examines the implementation of Management of Change (MOC) as a risk control mechanism during the FEED–EPCI transition phase. Using a qualitative case study approach, this paper analyzes how a structured MOC process supports engineering governance by ensuring systematic evaluation, approval, and traceability of changes. The results show that effective MOC implementation enhances decision-making quality, improves risk visibility, and mitigates potential cost and schedule impacts during project phase transition.
