The purpose of the analysis is to investigate the underlying rationale, to compare actual performance with expectations and to study, evaluate and analyse the appraisal perspectives of the scheme. The discussion begins with tracing the causes and suggesting possible remedies for the staggering cost and time over runs which characterised the project under consideration (Chapter 21.
