A few things - until the project is in design the cost is largely unknown. For instance, it's actually fairly easy to estimate costs of interchanges, new libraries, new firehalls, water/sewer infrastructure. Additionally, LRT in particular is viewed as city-wide infrastructure with funding sources very different than other infrastructure because of the massive difference in the order of magnitude of cost.
