            Sorry, I should have made it clearer. We started with the costs that I worked out, and then under pressure they have been cut down.

            Actually, I don't feel that sorry for the PM, he is an idiot who just does what he is told without question. His last major project came in 400% over budget.

                Plan says due end of June, but there's no contingency.

                If it's in by September, I'll be astounded.

                Contract runs out in May, so there could well be an extension looming...

                    There's a danger that the project will get canned if it's too late, though.

                      Although, they've already spent millions on it so far.
