    It’s a public infrastructure project. They often go wildly over budget, because the payoff is generally still worth it.

    (Plus, on a lot of projects, the quotes are often ridiculously low, because the companies know govts. will cover “unexpected” costs)

      Except all work carried out under the Tories is done at exorbitant costs. Public projects under the Tories is nothing more than schemes to refund donations made to them.
