It's a bit more complicated for the other projects I guess. We never know for sure if the budget is correct or too inflated to satisfy certain interest groups.

It's a bit more complicated for the other projects I guess. We never know for sure if the budget is correct or too inflated to satisfy certain interest groups. We don't even know if it is necessary to do X at this moment. Of course we can probably blindly trust the engineers who certified on the reports (because civil engineers are true engineers while software engineers are not?).
