Abstract
In any investment or other economic project that is going to last over several years between its inception date t – n and its delivery date t on time, the effectively achieved (ex-post) cost in t may happen to be higher than the announced (ex-ante) cost in t – n. The longer n is, the higher the risk that such a difference will emerge. This is clearly shown in our literature review in which we listed many reasons for that.
