The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the signing of revised air service agreements between India and Afghanistan as well as India and the Philippines, said an official statement.If a country wants to operate passenger flights to another country, a "bilateral air services agreement" has to be negotiated to decide how many airlines, port of entries and total flights (or seats) per week can be allowed between the two nations, it said.The official statement said the revised air services agreement signifies an important landmark in the civil aviation relations between India and the two countries.Such a revised agreement has the potential to spur greater trade, investment, tourism and cultural exchanges between India and the two countries in tune with the developments in the civil aviation sector, the statement added.While all scheduled international passenger flights have been suspended in India since March 23 due to the coronavirus pandemic, special flights have been operating under the Vande Bharat mission since May and under air bubble arrangements since July. India has formed air bubble arrangements with more than 22 countries.Under an air bubble agreement between two nations, airlines of both countries can operate special flights between their territories with certain restrictions.Below is the agreement that was signed:The Government of India and the Government of Afghanistan DESIRING to conclude an agreement for the operation of air services, AGREE as follows:Article IEach Contracting Party grants to the other Contracting Party the right to operate the air services specified in the Annex to this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the "specified air services") on the routes specified in the said Annex (hereinafter referred to as the "specified air routes").Article II(A) Each of the specified air services may be inaugurated immediately or at a later date at the option of the Contracting Party to whom the rights under this Agreement are granted, on condition that(1) the Contracting Party to whom the rights have been granted shall have designated an airline (hereinafter referred to as the "designated airline") for the specified air route concerned, and(2) the Contracting Party which grants the rights shall have given the appropriate operating permission to the airline concerned pursuant to paragraph (B) of this Article which it shall do with the least possible delay.(B) A designated airline may be required to satisfy the aeronautical authorities of the Contracting Party granting the rights that it is qualified to fulfil the conditions prescribed by or - under the laws and regulations normally applied by those authorities to the operation of international air services.(C) The operation of each of the specified air services shall be subject to the agreement of the Contracting Party concerned that its route organisation available for civil aviation on the specified air route is adequate for the safe operation of air services.Article IIIThe designated airlines of each Contracting Party operating the specified air services may, subject to the provisions of Article IV, set down or pick up in the territory of the other Contracting Party, at the points specified in the Annex, international traffic originating in or destined for the territory of the former Contracting Party or of a third country on the specified air route concerned.Article IV(A) The aeronautical authorities of the Contracting Parties shall jointly determine in respect of an agreed period the total capacity required for the carriage, at a reasonable load factor, of all traffic, that is to say, passengers, cargo and mail, which may reasonably be expected to originate in the territory of each Contracting Party and to be disembarked in the territory of the other Contracting Party on the specified air services to be operated during that period on each of the specified air routes.(B) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (C) of this Article each Contracting Party shall have the right to authorise its designated airline to make available for the carriage of the traffic specified in paragraph (A) of this Article whether on services terminating in or on services passing through the territory of the other Contracting Party half the capacity for the specified air services determined in accordance with the provisions of the said paragraph (A).(C)(D) The designated airlines of either Contracting Party may set down and pick up in the territory of the other Contracting Party traffic coming from or destined for third countries on any specified air route, only in accordance with the following provisions:�(E) In order to meet seasonal fluctuations or unexpected demands of a temporary character the designated airlines may agree between them such temporary increases in the agreed capacities as are necessary to meet the traffic need. Any such increases shall be reported forthwith to the aeronautical authorities of the Contracting Parties either of whom may disapprove such increases. Upon such disapproval, such increases shall cease to operate.(F)Article VThe designated airlines of each Contracting Party may make a change of gauge at a point in the territory of the other Contracting Party on the following conditions:�Article VI(A) The tariffs to be charged for the carriage of passengers and cargo on any of the specified air services shall be fixed at reasonable levels, due regard being paid to all relevant factors, including economical operation, reasonable profit, difference of characteristics of service (including standards of speed and accommodation) and the tariffs charged by other airlines on the route or section thereof concerned.(B) The tariffs in respect of each route and each section thereof shall be agreed between the designated airlines concerned in consultation with other airlines operating on the same route or section and shall have regard to any relevant rates adopted by the International Air Transport Association. The tariffs so agreed shall be subject to the approval of the aeronautical authorities of both Contracting Parties, except that the approval of the aeronautical authorities of a Contracting Party shall not be necessary in respect of tariffs for a route or section in which no designated airline of that Contracting Party is concerned. In the event of disagreement between the designated airlines concerned or in case the aeronautical authorities do not approve the tariffs as required under this paragraph, the Contracting Parties shall endeavour to reach agreement between themselves failing which the dispute shall be dealt with in accordance with Article XI. Pending determination of the tariffs in accordance with this Article, the tariffs already in force shall prevail.(C) Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to prevent either Contracting Party, in agreement with the other Contracting Party, from bringing into force tariffs fixed, in accordance with practice recommended from time to time by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.Article VII(A) Supplies of fuel, lubricating oils, spare parts, regular equipment and aircraft stores introduced into or taken on board aircraft of the designated airline of one Contracting Party in the territory of the other Contracting Party and remaining on board on departure from the last airport of call in that territory shall be accorded, with respect to customs duty, inspection fees or similar charges, treatment not less favourable than that granted by the second Contracting Party to its national airlines engaged in international public transport: Provided that neither Contracting Party shall be obliged to grant to the designated airlines of the other Contracting Party exemption or remission of customs duty, inspection fees or similar charges unless such other Contracting Party grants exemption or remission of such charges to the designated airlines of the first Contracting Party.(B) If in the opinion of the aeronautical authorities of one of the Contracting Parties, the administration of regulations relating to customs, immigration, quarantine and similar matters in the territory of the other Contracting Party imposes an onerous burden on its designated airlines in the operation of the air services pursuant to this Agreement, the aeronautical authorities of such other Contracting Party shall, upon request, enter into consultation to examine the situation.Article VIII(A) The aeronautical authorities of each Contracting Party shall supply to the aeronautical authorities of the other Contracting Party on request:(B) Each Contracting Party shall cause its designated airlines to supply to the aeronautical authorities of the other Contracting Party, as long in advance as practicable, copies of time tables and tariff schedules and particulars concerning the types of aircraft to be operated on the specified air services.Article IX(A) Each Contracting Party reserves the right to withhold or revoke, or impose such appropriate conditions as it may deem necessary with respect to an operating permit to a designated airline of the other Contracting Party, if(B) Except in the case of failure to comply with laws and regulations, such action shall be taken only after due notice has been given to the designated airline concerned and after opportunity has been given for consultation between the Contracting Parties. In the event of action by one Contracting Party under this Article, the rights of the other Contracting Party under Article XI shall not be prejudiced.Article X(A) In a spirit of close collaboration, the aeronautical authorities of the two Contracting Parties will consult regularly with a view to assuring the observance of the principles and the implementation of the provisions contained in this Agreement.(B) Either Contracting Party may at any time request consultation with the other with a view to initiating any amendments of this Agreement which it may deem desirable. Such consultations shall begin within a period of sixty days from the date of the request. Any modification of this Agreement agreed as a result of such consultation shall come into effect when it has been confirmed by an exchange of diplomatic notes.(C) Changes made by either Contracting Party in the intermediate stopping places on the specified air routes authorised to its designated airlines except those which(1) change the places served by a designated airline in the territory of the other Contracting Party, or(2) result in the route ceasing to be reasonably direct, shall not be considered as modifications of this Agreement and either Contracting Party may therefore make such changes: Provided that notice of any such changes shall be given without delay to the aeronautical authorities of the other Contracting Party. If the aeronautical authorities of such second Contracting Party fund that the principles set forth in Article IV of this Agreement are thereby infringed and such infringement affects the interests of any of their airlines because of the carriage by a designated airline of the first Contracting Party and the new point in the territory of a third country the aeronautical authorities of the second Contracting Party may request a consultation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (A) of this Article.(D) Whether or not the procedure for consultation provided for in paragraph (B) of this Article has been initiated, either Contracting Party may at any time give notice to the other of its desire to terminate this Agreement and such notice shall be simultaneously communicated to the International Civil Aviation Organisation. This Agreement shall terminate one year after the date of receipt by the other Contracting Party of the notice to terminate unless the notice is withdrawn by agreement before the expiration of such period. In the absence of acknowledgement of receipt by the other Contracting Party, notice shall be deemed to have been received fourteen days after the receipt of the notice by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.Article XI(A) If any dispute arises between the Contracting Parties relating to the interpretation or application of the present Agreement or of its Annex, the Contracting Parties shall in the first place endeavour to settle it by negotiation between themselves.(B) If the Contracting Parties fail to reach a settlement by negotiation,(i) they may agree to refer the dispute for the decision to an arbitral tribunal or some other person or body appointed by agreement between them; or(ii) if they do not so agree or if, having agreed to refer the dispute to an arbitral tribunal they cannot reach an agreement as to its composition, either Contracting Party may submit the dispute for the decision to any tribunal competent to decide it established within the International Civil Aviation Organisation, or, if there be no such tribunal, to the International Court of Justice.(C) The Contracting Parties undertake to comply with any decision given, including any interim recommendation made, under paragraph (B) of this Article.(D) If and so long as either Contracting Party or a designated airline of either Contracting Party fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (C) of this Article, the other Contracting Party may limit, withhold or revoke any rights which it has granted by virtue of the present Agreement and its Annex.Article XIIThis Agreement shall come into force on 26th January 1952.Article XIIIIn the event of the coming into force of a multilateral agreement concerning international air transport to which both Contracting Parties adhere, this Agreement shall be modified to conform with the provisions of such multilateral agreement.Article XIVTo the extent to which they are applicable to the air services established under the present Agreement, the provisions of the Convention shall remain in force in their present form between the Contracting Parties for the duration of the Agreement, as if they were an integral part of the Agreement unless both Contracting Parties ratify any amendment to the Convention which shall have duly come into force in which case the Convention as amended shall remain in force for the duration of the present Agreement.Article XV(A) For the purpose of this Agreement the terms "territory", "air service" and "airline" shall have the meanings specified in the Convention on International Civil Aviation opened for signature on the seventh day of December 1944, in this Agreement referred to as "the Convention".(B) The term "aeronautical authorities" shall mean in the case of India the Director-General of Civil Aviation and in the case of Afghanistan Director General of Civil Aviation and in both cases any person or body authorised to perform the functions exercised by the above-mentioned authorities.(C) The term "capacity" in relation to a specified air service means the extent of accommodation provided and permitted under this Agreement for the carriage of passengers, cargo and mails on the route or section of a route concerned, during an agreed period.(D) The Annex to this Agreement shall be deemed to be part of the Agreement and all references to the "Agreement" shall include a reference to the Annex, except where otherwise expressly provided.IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, being duly authorised thereto by their respective Governments, have signed the present Agreement.IN FAITH WHEREOF, the said plenipotentiaries have signed the present Agreement in the English and Persian languages, both texts being equally authentic, and have affixed thereto their seals.

Based on your description it appears as if the process is a bit different than what I’ve seen. Here are generally the phases for US projects, and Matthew Lohden did a great job outlining them.The first few vary and may or may not be applicable:AIA (US) process:Master Planning: This phases would be for large projects, where a large parcel of land would be conceptually planned with the basic layout of where various buildings might go, along with streets and major elements. This is more to do with big ideas than specific sites.Conceptual Design: The beginnings of a design concept for the project. Work done in this phase would be very loose and aspirational, and not include actual floor plans. This phase is often omitted, unless the project is very large, or of a special nature.Schematic Design (SD): The initial phase of design where the project begins to take form. Documents produced in this phase are illustrative, and generally show all the spaces proposed in the project, exterior facade design and a site plan showing access, parking and open spaces. Basic building code research and initial pricing should be done during this phase.Design Development (DD): This phase advances the project design sufficient to understand all the major building systems. This is usually the first phase to have engineers join the team, unless the project is large or has unsual design features.Construction Documents (CD): This phase is when the technical drawings are prepared. This includes both the plans and the project manual, which includes the specifications, general conditions and instructions to the bidders.Bidding & Permitting (B&N): This phase is when the project is let for construction bids. Sometimes a client will retain a contractor early in the process, when this happens we strive to get them in at the start of Design Development.Contract Administration (CA): This is when the architect will represent the owner and manage the construction process. Services end after the project has been completed and accepted by the owner.Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Plan of WorkThe following information is taken from "Services Supplement: Design and Management" from the RIBA publication "Standard Form of Agreement for the appointment of an architect"(SFA/99) available from RIBA Bookshops (http://www.ribabookshop.com) and you should refer to the whole document.Note the RIBA goes into far more detail.
