The Lower Thames Crossing project in the UK already generated 360000 pages of paper in the planing phase: https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/lower-thames-crossing-timeline-of-the-proposed-uks-longest-road-tunnel-08-10-2024 https://www.newcivilengineer.com/latest/lower-thames-crossin...

Granted, this is not completely the same, but 360 000 pages is a LOT. Most civilizational infrastructure around the world was built using orders of magnitude less bureaucracy. That is overregulation for me, and I don't think this pushes any agenda except "360 000 pages for a tunnel is freaking insane".
