I wonder if that's what happens when you pick vendors who undercut, and then issue change orders after work has begun.
Would be curious to see the bids for these projects, and just how those costs ended up coming to be.
FYI, any time you build a project that gets into the high millions or even billions there is always a huge level of risk involved, construction, infrastructure, technology, or otherwise.
