I am working on an assessment plan for a project. The project is divided into three phases, and each is to be assessed separately.
The first two phases are called pilot and implementation. The third phase is called continuation, but I feel there is a better word for this.
I want to capture in a single word the essence of this phase – that we will reassess and refine the project periodically after implementation and that this phase is entirely in the future. I have not liked any of the thesaurus suggestions for continuous, continuation, or future.

I would recommend calling it the Sustaining phase. This is common parlance in project management for the phase that comes after launch, where you refine/maintain the project.
