It’s the payoffs and the ripoffs ...

fraud and corruption and kickbacks and bribes and unions skimming the contract and politicians getting their cut ...

that’s why the schedule is “extended” ... the long time allows more money laundering.

“Preliminary cost and project time estimates were made less than two weeks after the initial crash and before any engineering or design studies were conducted we figured out how much we could get out of it,”

Fixed.

If all it does is double, that will be a miracle. Expect it to triple or quadruple once these corrupt incompetents are done.
