This paper examines how centralized PMO change control relates to Lean control cadence, operationalized as biweekly reporting, using an anonymized portfolio dataset of 44 ongoing projects (reporting year 2025; data freeze 22 January 2026). Across 1,056 expected project–period rows, 569 reports were submitted (overall adherence 53.9%), indicating substantial variance in cadence and a non-trivial zero-adherence segment that creates portfolio blind spots for timely triage and escalation. The Change Register contains 195 change requests; cost impact is nearly complete, but lane assignment, decision timestamps, and time impact are sparse, constraining robust computation of decision-flow metrics (e.g., over-SLA share) and change-induced schedule-deviation analysis. As a design proposition, we introduce a Lean-friendly three-lane threshold policy aligned with Delegation of Authority and lane-specific SLAs to improve decision-flow efficiency and reduce waiting. The paper contributes a portfolio measurement framework for cadence adherence, governance readiness, and early cost-impact aggregation, and a roadmap to strengthen time-impact evidence aligned with contractual extension-of-time mechanisms. }, author_keywords={Lean construction, flow, Last Planner® System, change control, control cadence. }, address={Singapore, Singapore }, issn={2789-0015 }, publisher={ }, language={English}, document_type={Conference Paper}, source={IGLC}, }
