How Many Times Have You Heard Of A Project Costing More Than It Should

and taking longer than it was scheduled to be finished by? I am guessing many times, especially with military and government projects costing way over estimated costs, well here is one where the bean counters, number crunchers, call them what you will got it right! builders were celebrating being turfed out of London's 2012 Olympic stadium after completing it in record time and millions of pounds under budget, the 80,000-seater centrepiece of the games, which took less than three years to build, also came in £10million under budget at £486million, but perhaps I should say that it's original bid book budget of £240million has more than doubled though that figure was never seen as realistic, I wonder why it was given?

but well done to Sir Robert McAlpine and architectural practice Populous, who built and designed it respectively, the was also team behind Arsenal’s Emirates ground, the stadium has employed 5,000 workers from 240 British businesses, now can some one please do some thing about another construction site which I am ashamed to say is British - Heathrow Airport, for me the airport in the last 30 years or so just seems to be limping from one construction crisis to another, when will it ever be finished?
