- acdha 9y agoI know someone who worked on a big navy project which almost had a (IIRC) multi-year delay because even though it was almost certain to be funded, they couldn’t legally commit money on a contract with a shipyard and missing that deadline would mean the facility would be booked by someone else. Those kinds of hit to long-term planning really crank up the stress and costs.
