Here's the key support for the final clause in the title: "...and which some say is damaging nearby buildings." The "some" are almost entirely made up of owners

Here's the key support for the final clause in the title:
"...and which some say is damaging nearby buildings."
The "some" are almost entirely made up of owners who would like to sue the state or the owners of the tunneling company. The city and state engineers have concluded that there is no evidence of such (at least not yet).
The situation is typical for any large construction project; there have been, (and will be), stultifying screw-ups, but following significant delays, it will finally be finished. See also: Bostonians love their "Big Dig" ..now.
