specifications:

. . . requirements, stipulations, criteria and the like that are essential to proper organization of a project or other undertaking involving . . . a material, design, product, or service (source of quote). Specifications (abbreviation: specs) are essential because they zero in on satisfaction—the point at which projects and similar undertakings reach an acceptable degree of success so that, for example, business decision makers say when they are done.

A set of specifications expressing wants and needs might be set forth to a limited degree in a scope of project as an introduction or cover for detailed requirements.

Actually, the quote in the above paragraph is from a Wikipedia specification article. That same article continues by stating . . . material, product, or service fail to meet one or more of the applicable specifications, it may be referred to as being out of specification; the abbreviation OOS may also be used. In casual usage, underspec or overspec are used when something is worse or better than specified (compare overengineering), though in general (such as for sizes) there is only a notion of "in spec" or "out of spec", not "better" or "worse" (source of quote).

A specification is essential in the the control of technical standards.

Specifications as project criteria relate to enterprise and economic development in a variety of ways. For example, site location projects can only move forward with selection criteria. Site location work is a component of enterprise development. Typically, economic developers representing locations seeking enterprise and economic development assist site selectors.
