Why is there no word for I in this sentence?

In Polish, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb already shows who is doing the action.

• Chcę = I want
• so ja (I) is not necessary

You could say:

• Ja chcę zakwestionować decyzję.

But that usually adds emphasis, as in:

• I want to challenge the decision.

So the version without ja is the most natural neutral form.
