Another factor in the apparent climbdown is a lack of funds to pay for construction of the center, estimated to cost a hundred million dollars.

I doubt this part of the story. If there is Saudi money involved (and there always is), they don't have a financial problem at all. Something fishy about this story. If they do find a new spot, they'll pick a spot just as offensive and build it twice as tall. This is what these a-holes do.
