I believe there can be up to four components in the model.
D=Design
B=Build
F=Finance (usually just partially)
O=Operate
The Federal Highway Administration in the U.S. uses DBFMO where M stands for maintain. As far as I can tell it's part of "O."
There are some freeway segments in Alberta that are DBFO and these tend to be (always?) P3 projects. DB is probably the most common but I'm not positive about that. Might tend on the jurisdiction.
