Reuse the site for the 1976 Denver Winter Olympics. Oh, wait, they were awarded them but when the people saw the cost estimates climbing they had a referendum to stop spending on it.

That was a major case of butthurt for the supporters who way you underbid it expecting that once the snowball was rolling something minor like massive cost overruns wouldn't stop it

They moved those games to Innsbruck (they had hosted before).
I’m inclined to think if they delay the selection, they’d almost be forced to reuse a previous site.
