An analysis of these completed projects indicate that, though there has been cost-over-run and time delay in most projects, while in case of the Telecom, the cumulative expenditure on the projects remained lower than the original estimated cost. Even in some Petroleum projects, the cumulative expenditure was lower,but not to the level of the Telecom projects.
