There's a magic formula to making a project go overbudget:

1. Accept the sensible, well-costed proposal for 3-years of intensive works.

2. Announce you're going to cut costs the next year in the budget by reducing the scope.

3. The project is now overbudget, because the cost per unit delivered has gone up since hey, plant and tooling is a big fixed cost.

The blame for this lies on the taxpayer, who keeps voting in the idiots who do this or make promises along these lines.
