It is currently 8 years past the initial deadline and the projected costs have risen from ~$2b to ~$9b, including extensions. Some parts of the building have to be replaced because standards have changed since the original construction, there have been several mismanagements, construction failures and, oh, the airport already faces bankruptcy, before being even opened!
