    I was sent this article from the West Australian about cost blowouts in the mining game.

    lots of reasons but the most interesting to me was the bit at the end where he talks about

    “Pressure to advance a feasibility stage project to construction far outweighs the pressure to get the costs right,” Haubrich said.
    “Once management decides they believe a project is viable, it is hard to change their minds (probably because they don’t have any better options).”
