If the project delivered what was asked for, then the business requesting changes has two option: put the item in an enhancement queue or start a new phase of the project.

Sounds more like an enhancement. Improvements and/or suggestions, are enhancements, not issues. Issues are usually bugs or defects found in the original code base that cannot be attributed/linked to a user story or unit of development work.
Defects/bugs are spawned from a user story or unit of development work.
-- My two cents.
Edit: if your team considers enhancements to be new projects, then yes, this is a new project. With that said, I think you are using the term "project" incorrectly. The term "project" should be the High Level application that you are working on, which is run by a Project Manager/team.

In our company, we have a 30-day post deployment window where the project team continues to support the project, and all issues - whether they are enhancements or defects - goes to the project team to work on. During this time, the project team is also transitioning the project (through KT sessions) to the maintenance team.
After the 30 day window is up, all future issues are entered into the helpdesk system where the maintenance team takes care of them. Any enhancements that are beyond a certain deliverable threshold (i.e. an enhancement that takes more than 80 hours of developer time, or some other measurement) are usually deferred to an "Application version 2" project that will spin up some time in the future.

Sounds like version 2.0. The question of course is who will pay for the enhancements?

How you deal with such cases ?
As a developer...
You mention it "looks poor on quality".
Is someone actually tracking this? Does it come up in the developer reviews? In project reviews? Are bonuses directly or indirectly impacted by that? Is there any other way that it objectively impacts something?
If the answer to any of those is yes, then as a developer I would scream bloody murder if it was pushed as a bug.
If it doesn't then it is more subjective. And as a developer I might ask, but not insist that each be noted in some way as a new feature, even if the tracking system noted it as a bug.
Now if there are other criteria in the company where tracking occurs but where it doesn't impact the developer then I still might insist that it not be entered as a bug. If it is used as a metric elsewhere then either it is important or it isn't. If it isn't then why is it being used? If it is then in must reflect something real and not imaginary.
Of course the viewpoint outside of the developer, is if there is a customer and a contract then the contract should specify the acceptance criteria. It it was met then additions are extra. If not then it must be corrected. If there is no acceptance criteria then one or more people made a mistake (including the lawyer or lack of one if that was the case.)

So, scientists don't know what happened to all the anti-matter after the big bang.
Seems pretty obvious to me...
(p = particle)
p+ + p- = Boom!
p+ + p+ = sweet.
p- + p- = p+ (minus plus a minus is a plus) meets a p- = Boom!
I had to go shopping this morning - amazing what pops into your head when looking at dresses.

With that much pee no wonder it went boom.

You got that wrong by the way.
-p + -p = +p
No 'minus meets a plus.

Oh yeah, it was multiply I was thinking of.

I'd add a few phases:
p* * p* = tart
p^2 * p^2 = vinegar
p^p * p^p = kardashian

Any experience?
I need a small DB (3000 book records for 40+ users) online to access both from Desktop and Mobile applications...
I found Google Cloud SQL, but I'm open to other suggestions too...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Checkout the Firebase[^] offering. Google bought it a year or two ago.
It's :
1. extremely easy to use
2. is highly available
3. provides free version and use (with some limitations) -- it is likely with that size db and that number of users you could get by with the free version*
4. changes are instantly propagated to connected users
I've used it via web apps and Android apps. Very cool.
*Free version supports:
100 simultaneous connections
1 GB stored (total)
10 GB downloaded (per month)

Hi, Raddevus,
Interesting, are you programming FireBase using a C# wrapper like this: [^] ?
cheers, Bill
