If you are unlucky the project you are managing doesn’t scale linearly. So a 10 billion projects is 99999999 time more difficult than a 100 million project.
Then we have the problem of previous experience. How many 10 billion projects do we have in the whole country? And maybe they take 10-15 years to finish. You might get one chance at managing and then it’s time for retirement.
When projects of this size start they often have “wicked problems” [0] which demand a lot of competence.

- Retric 4y ago> How many 10 billion projects do we have in the whole country? Right now I would guess a few hundred, going back and adjusting for inflation it’s easily thousands. For scale a single aircraft carrier costs more than 10 billion. The US operates at a scale that’s hard to comprehend. Also,100 million dollar projects also run into Wicked problems.
