Do you have a source for your claim that much/most of subway construction cost is lawsuits? I haven’t seen that one before.

I'm pretty sure it's not true as most subway systems outside of the US (where we are not as lawsuit-happy) still cost billions of dollars and takes many years to construct.
Much, if not most, of that being spent on lawsuits, as people block construction projects, hoping to extract maximum value for themselves now that they know the society needs their permission.
Having this in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if building infrastructure on Moon or Mars ended up being cheaper than in the US - there are no land owners up there just yet.
