To further this discussion, I wonder if there is a way to start bridging the gap while including public participation at earlier stages of project implementation. One idea that comes to mind would to move part way towards doing this would be public engagement that gives the public a range of options to choose from and asking if there are options missed, than a second round would engage further once all suggestions are vetted. I recognize that there are major time and financial impacts of this sort of drawn out process – but maybe a step in the right direction.
