Was that the approach taken for T5?

Reading the report is a sensible approach. If you look at it it still appears to be a self inflicted injury. Despite Tornado there is still not clear understanding of the difficulties associated with multi-national projects. An old adage is "the time taken for a project will be the multiple of the estimate and the number of partners, while the costs will be the a multiple of the original estimate and the square of the number of partners". Much of the cost overrun was due to poor assumptions about the ability of the nations involved to sort out workshare and requirements, whilst the project marching army costs and obsolesence had to be dealt with.
