Guideline for the thesis received!

So finally the guidelines have arrived. A little different from what I was doing but its not too bad. My only problem is dividing the write up between the Rationale and the early part of Introduction which seems to be the same. On the flip side the feasibility report can be included in the thesis which means reducing my thesis into 10,000 words looks like my likely problem InshaAllah.

Basically it now goes like this:
