Development documents are documents used to provide legal protection for the development of a project. These documents can include contracts, agreements, licenses, and other documents that outline the terms and conditions of the project. They can also include documents that outline the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved in the project, as well as documents that outline the scope of the project and the timeline for completion. Development documents are important for ensuring that all parties involved in the project are aware of their rights and responsibilities and that the project is completed in a timely and efficient manner.
