How could it be that there is quite a lot to do after the formal handover with the customer?

Due to time pressure and stress and in order to keep the deadline, the focus lied on the important aspects and the rest needs to be done now.
You may compare it with a bow wave of a ship: the higher the speed (time pressure) and the waves (emotions), the higher the bow wave (things to be done after handover/ opening).
If you do a proper time management there should not be much to do after the handover.
Everything after the handover is additional and therefore a new order.
