Evaluating projects again

What can we learn when we evaluate projects again years later? How can this help us improve other projects we do? And how to do it?
A drawing shows a tightrope connecting two towers, one labeled "Accountability" the other labeled "Learning". The "Accountability" tower is flying a flag with the word "prove". The "learning" tower is flying a flag called "improve". A person with a balancing pole is walking on the tight rope from the accountability tower to the learning tower.
