Fire everyone at NASA involved in "project management" that allowed this to happen: >For the ML-2 project’s first 5 years, NASA lacked a reliable cost and schedule estimate, making it difficult for the Agency to accurately identify ML-2 budget requirements, be accountable to Congress and other stakeholders, and accurately measure project and contractor performance. Absolute dereliction of duty and complete incompetence. Bechtel has literally no _true_ incentive to deliver on time: the "awards" are folly and they've been awarded some of them even despite this abysmal performance. Instead, you can inflate the "cost" part of "cost plus" and just continue to suck on the teat of the taxpayer, while blaming supply chain and other challenges, all to not build what amounts to a several hundred foot tall elevator. (Obviously a gross simplification; I understand there are interconnected data, electrical, hydraulic, fluid, and other systems, along with being immediately adjacent an extremely high-thrust launch, but _still_.)
