I agree with your general sentiment, but I don't agree that they should necessarily be able to produce a "project plan". In fact, I'd be worried if they had a highly detailed project plan, because in software development, those are rarely kept to (your comparison to the building industry doesn't hold a lot of water in my opinion. It's possible to do deterministic planning in building - what you plan is pretty damn close to what you build. It's very rarely the case that that's true with software).
Still, I'd hope they had some documentation about their project. A well shaped product backlog would be a good start in my books.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
