To give some life to this project it requires that Dr P leaves it to someone who has some nous and a clear idea of what is required to carry this lifeless project forward. If forward is indeed the way to go.
The project is approaching limbo at a rate not disimilar to 558's rate one turns. DR P needs to give this farce up and take a huge cut in salary. He himself has taken £0000's from it.
As Andrew quite rightly states, 558 actually belongs to others and it is worrying that included in that requirement of £150k is probably 3 months of salary to Dr.P which he SHOULD forego.
I will not put another penny into this project - ever.
Moreover, I think its time to bow to the inevitable and put 558 out of her misery, and everyone else's - and put her down. The memories will remain but her death unquestionable. No point in delaying it.
