The high uncertainty of megaproject results in increasing complexity in the decisionmaking and ultimately leads to different degrees of cost overrun and project delays. One of the critical reasons for cost overrun and delay is the optimism bias of decision makers. Although the previous literature has analyzed the cost overrun distribution of...

This paper gives an overview of good and bad practice for understanding and curbing cost overrun in large capital investment projects, with a critique of Love and Ahiaga-Dagbui (2018) as point of departure. Good practice entails: (a) Consistent definition and measurement of overrun; in contrast to mixing inconsistent baselines, price levels,...

In Nederland komen kostenoverschrijdingen minder vaak voor en is de gemiddelde overschrijding lager dan in andere landen. Het grootste deel van de kostenoverschrijding komt voor in de fase voor de start van de bouw. De gemiddelde kostenoverschrijding is het kleinst voor spoorwegen gevolgd door wegen en kunstwerken. Spoorwegen en bruggen in...

Een belangrijk fenomeen dat kostenoverschrijdingen kan verklaren is lock-in. We definiëren lockin als de buitenmatige verbondenheid van besluitmakers aan een inefficiënt besluit. Dit kan op twee manieren invloed hebben op de mate van kostenoverschrijdingen. Ten eerste methodologisch: kostenoverschrijdingen worden berekend op basis van de...

In the Netherlands, the costs of railroad infrastructure construction work out 11 per cent higher than forecast; the percentage for roads is 19 and 22 for bridges and tunnels. While this puts the Netherlands in a favourable light compared to other countries, the actual cost overruns are probably far higher, believes Chantal Cantarelli, who...

Managing large-scale transportation infrastructure projects is difficult due to frequent misinformation about the costs which results in large cost overruns that often threaten the overall project viability. This paper investigates the explanations for cost overruns that are given in the literature. Overall, four categories of explanations can...
