There were exterior and hardscape management procedures in practice in the past which are LEED compliant. A structure (covered walkway) was constructed recently and a new policy, which covers procedures for the new covered walkway was crafted but included past practices (for exterior and hardscape). This was done very recently. As such the minimum performance period (3 months) may not be completed from the date of effectivity of this new policy. However, in the new policy, the original documents of the LEED compliant practices are referenced.

Will this be acceptable to LEED? If so, under what circumstances?
