They had to, we hired them. But it's more interesting that the leadership was really upset at having to tell them to change plans. After the changes to the construction project they heavily limited what information I have access to. Fundamentally I didn't have any authority to change these things on my own, so what caused the leadership to change course was basically an email in the following format: "Here's the current state we have ... Here's what will what happen if you move forward with it ... I would heavily recommend against proceeding with the current course. Ultimately it is your own decision and you will have to bear the consequences of that decision"
