Not every project proceeds as originally planned, something Younex Enterprises Corporation knows all too well. When it was selected to oversee construction of the Ukudu Workforce Village in Dos Amantes, Guam, an anticipated buildup of American military forces was expected to take place at a rather fast pace.
