I'm reluctant to use different lifecycle <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix> stages for the same object. How relevant is it to map the fact that it skipped 'present' and 'disused' and went directly to 'abandoned' from 'construction'? Is that fact visible on the ground and important? Example near me: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/36835272 is a motorway link that was abandoned during construction. Construction never began for the associated motorway, which would have run northwest into the airport. The link was repurposed as the ring road surrounding an office park, which therefore enjoys a disproportionately large motorway interchange combined with very poor access to the local surface streets. I found no reason to tag the history of the road. It's the ring road of an office park now. Random trivia: There was infighting among agencies of the state government regarding the proposal. Part of the reason for building http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6121261 where it stands was that it was then the offices of the Conservation Department, and was sited to block the proposed route. In a supreme irony, the Transportation Department now occupies the building. In the last fifty years, enough development has taken place that it would not be feasible to route a motorway through there. At the time of the proposal, which was finally abandoned in 1970, the area of the proposed route was mostly swamp land.
