Seems to be lots (all?) government projects.
As someone who was at the sharp end of the HS2 project (they are putting the line through our property - we've since moved) I can say from first hand experience that the project is ineptly managed, ill conceived and badly communicated with people on the ground. HS2 Limited is very poorly managed by government with negligible oversight and they are just allowed to do their own sweet thing in their own bureaucratic, incompetent and tortuously slow manner. I won't bore everyone with the details, but in the real world if someone agrees to buy your house, the legal process takes up to three months. With HS2 it took over two years, during which time we were stuck in limbo.
A complete rethink needs to be done about all government projects as they all seem to suffer from the same incompetent management by bungling ministers and civil servants, irrespective of which political party is in charge.
