Do you have a link to the story? I couldn't find anything on Google.
It's not necessarily the labor. It could be the boiler, zone valves, etc. Soldering pipes or installing plastic piping is pretty straightforward.
There is no news story, although there should be because to spend 120 million and have problems like this is absurd.
