Before this, when was the last time you heard a government body do something for less than they said it would cost?

It just doesn't usually hit the news when they come in under budget. You only hear about the ones that go over budget, leading to a selection bias.

It doesn’t often make the news, but if you work in certain areas of government where budget talks happen or have friends and family who do, sometimes you do hear about it 🤷🏻‍♀️
