(US) The list of repairs and finish work required to complete a project, such as the construction of a building; a list of problems to correct.

The building opened on schedule, but it took them another three months to get through the punch list.
Origin: Perhaps from the practice of punching holes in a list to indicate completion of individual items. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
