In the military arena, F-35, KC-46, Nimrod MRA.4, Eurofighter and A400M immediately spring to mind. In the civil world, A380 and B787 are the obvious candidates.

I was heavily involved as a member of the design team with two of those projects you quote. In both cases there was a massive and fundamental underestimation of the time, effort and cost involved in delivering the project, which was the main reason they ran badly late.
