"Janet Lawrence, Saint Helena airport’s project director, said the construction of the airport had hit a snag because of the lie of the land. “Due to the unknown nature of building an airport on the island’s uneven terrain, changes in design had to be made to facilitate that,” she said".

You survey the "lay of the land" and consequently " the unknown nature of building an airport on the island’s uneven terrain" no longer becomes unknown, before any construction starts.

Would Ms Lawrence now cease the "spin" and tell everyone just exactly what the nature of the problem is? Something of an apparently fundamental nature that would delay opening the airport at this late stage could be seen as the sign of a enormous c**k up!
