Existence conjecture for Butson Hadamard matrices of order 2p+42p+4

From papers

A Butson Hadamard matrix BH(n,q)BH(n,q) is an n×nn\times n complex matrix whose entries are qqth roots of unity and whose rows are pairwise orthogonal under the standard complex inner product. Existence conjecture. For any prime pp, Butson Hadamard matrices BH(2p+4,2p)BH(2p+4,2p) exist. The conjecture concerns the existence of a family of Butson Hadamard matrices at the parameters (n,q)=(2p+4,2p)(n,q)=(2p+4,2p); characterizing all pairs (n,q)(n,q) for which such matrices exist remains a fundamental open problem.
