A cost schedule is a collection of cost items, used for a specified purpose. Typical purposes are cost plans and tenders.

Note: there is no explicit documentation which explains how a cost schedule is related back to the project or context. Therefore, in the absence of documentation, we are assuming that we declare it to the project as shown. However, this is only an assumption. There are explicit arguments against this assumption, such as that a cost schedule must be tied back to a project order. However, this evidence is not considered strong enough as it is never mentioned in the cost schedule documentation page itself.
