A common reflex is to read this problem as a technical deficit and suggest more project expertise is required – better estimating, tighter assurance, stronger risk allocation,…

Yet, looking backward, our ability to deliver on these ambitions is poor, with eighty-six of major transport projects either blowing their budget, their schedule, or both. This gap between aspiration and ability is a cold reality check – communities waiting on projects to improve…
