This problem isn't confined to nuclear energy either. Just about the only thing our society is still able to build quickly and cheaply are roads.

Not exactly. I work as a project manager in the transportation field, and I can tell you that inflation has doubled (or more) the cost of several of my projects in the past few years. Most of the increases can be attributed to rising costs, and not necessarily scope changes.

Combined with limited funding, the projects continue to get delayed.
