Sentence of the day (I don't know whether I'm more disturbed at the number of acronyms we use at work, or that I understand what this all means without giving it a second thought.): The EPR was approved under the TPAP in May and the RFQ for the LRT DBFOM closed in November.

The Elephant Parading Room was approved under the Tactful Pets Agency Promptly in May and the Request For Quiet for the Ladies' Room Today Did Be (?) Formed Out of Meanness closed in November. (Okay, that didn't make any sense. Sorry. I had to try.)
Not nearly as entertaining as your guess, sadly. In order of appearance, they are: Environmental Project Report, Transit Project Assessment Process, Request for Qualifications, Light Rail Transit, and Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain (contract).
I'm going to give this a go like SeerQueen... "The Errant Printer Rambler was approved under the Trading Paper Acquisition Personnel in May and the Rambunctious Foresight Questioner for the Leery Reformist Trajectory Distance Before Foresight Over Mammals closed in November." There, I tried it for myself, making my own meanings to weird acronyms is fun!
sound as a science to me. RFQ can be request for quotation(s), but the rest? EPR sounds as medicine term to me :D Google suggests "enviremental project requirements" - whatever that means, hehe. I still side medicine term for unknown reason :D
