In order to optimize the stakeholder relationships of national major cluster projects and to improve cluster project network management, this study uses complex network theory to construct an undirected weighted network for projects of the National Quality Engineering Award, retrieves weighted 3-node and 4-node subgraphs, analyses the composition and practical significance of the subgraphs, and makes suggestions for network governance of national major cluster projects. The results show that contractual governance occupies a more central position in the network governance of cluster project organizations and that relational governance remains an important tool for improving cluster project management performance. Nevertheless, relational governance cannot replace contractual governance as the central position in the public project governance framework. A combination of both strategies can be used in the corresponding practical situations.
