I think he thought he could force something and his bluff was called.
And I tend to think that thought stemmed from a very late change of heart. It happens, but there are plenty of times in which there is not much to be done about it. Based on how he describes the situation, it really sounds like MacDonald was an enthusiastic participant green-lighting every step of the project, but then decided after the fact that this was not how he wanted his legacy enshrined.

A good characterization of this is "buyer's remorse." Unfortunately for MacDonald, there is quite possibly no refund at this stage of the process. In other words, he is too late to get back what he spent.
