I'm as sceptical as anyone about management of the project but the HLF did think the business plan (which incorporated the display phase of the aircraft) made sense - and I'm sure they subjected it to accountants not enthusiasts. What's happened so far are supplier cost overruns - Eurofighter, Army communications systems, the first Nimrod re-vamp all suffer it, look at UK Gas bills and petrol prices for a simple view. Someone has to pay for those price rises...
