It took 15 years to design, was supposed to open 5 years after that and now may not open until 2021, 15 years after construction started. Other example projects that are delayed from starting or late from finishing thus pushing costs higher are: a 3rd Heathrow runway, a tunnel to bypass Stonehenge (planned for over 20 years and costs projected to balloon from £180M to over £1.6B), the Paris Metro projected to be €12B over budget The US has no monopoly on poor planning, NIMBYs and corruption.
