The thing people don't seem to grasp when it comes to "budget blowouts" is that it isn't a failure to keep costs within a budget, it's a failure to budget properly in the first place.

A project will cost what it costs. Budgets are just a prediction of that cost.

Budgets often don’t account for: - increased costs due to inflation if there’s a delay - increased costs due to profiteering or monopoly - delays due to supply chain issues - labour costs increasing due to a pandemic - government policy undermining our credit rating so borrowing is more expensive
