Include a project review?
The project review meeting takes place once the project has been closed, and examines the processes that led to both success and failure in the project. The goal of the review meeting is to improve processes and techniques for the next time.

Requirements Management
Requirements often make or break projects. If the requirements are not well known in advance, the way that you handle this situation will have a significant impact.
Knowing the requirements is important, but it is more important to be in control of the requirements, and to know what is excluded as well.
Exclusions
For clarity, you should state any known exclusions that are definitely not part of the project, especially if there is a chance that someone might reasonably assume they are included.
Add an exclusion
Specify an exclusion from your project. Examples are
