Green line expansion (two stops) initially budgeted at $954M in June 2010.

5 years later, costs estimated at $3.09B and project is terminated.

  A Reliable Project Budget is Defined as being
  within +10% and -5% of what it would Cost
  to Design and Construct the Project
Costs went up over 300%. The level of incompetence on display here is borderline criminal. Have a friend who works at one of the big 4 who is being called in to audit this failed project. Should be interesting to get an insider perspective on where taxpayer money was spent.
