While you usually want to spend money when you have it, ideally you want to build this kind of stuff when things are going bad, so you have cheaper labour and construction cost to deal with (plus the added work should help rev the economy a bit). We can of course wait till we have the economy roaring again, but then you'll have people complaining that everything costs too much, it's hard to get skiller workers, and we should wait till things have cooled down to save on price.
It's a bit of a vicious cycle....if this thing really takes 10-15 years to build it's hard to time it right since you'll probably go through a couple of waves anyway.
