Cumbersome sentence

Hi there!

Does this sentence make sense and sound ok?

The project includes phased construction of a unique accelerator complex that will be used to solve highest-priority tasks discussed at the forefront of cutting edge science.

I know I have to change something in this sentence but can't think what...

Thanks

"...tasks discussed at the forefront of cutting edge science."


I'm having trouble understanding "discussed at the forefront of cutting edge science." What does that mean? A topic can be at the forefront of cutting edge science, but how can it be discussed at the forefront of cutting edge science? You lost me.

Hi, I'm lost, too. LOL

Ok, can I then say:

The project includes phased construction of a unique accelerator complex that will be used to solve the issues of cutting edge research in physics?

Can construction be phased?
