Explanation
When a software development company delivers a system to a client, the post-implementation review's most important question is whether the contractual obligations were fulfilled. The contract defines the agreed-upon scope, deliverables, and acceptance criteria - these are the legally binding measures of success. Whether the system works as engineers intended (B) is a technical perspective that may not align with client expectations. Future relevance (C) is speculative. User feedback (D) is valuable but subjective and cannot override contractual compliance as the primary measure of delivery success.
