So, reading this, I'm forced to wonder: We've built these things before in a reasonable time frame. Why can't we do it now? Has construction management lost the basic competence to oversee a project of this scope? It seems to me they may have. (Sadly) If projects I've worked on are any indication, workers are working harder yet making less progress than they did years ago. I think we as an industry need to look into this and ask; Why is this happening? Is it a really regulatory issue? Or are we just making excuses for the "Aunt's brothers and cousins" who can't actually get it done?
