The 2.8 Billion dollars is a sunk cost. When your examining a project, you have to ignore that number and just concentrate on whether the project is benificial or not. Would you rather them complete the project and find that they had made the wrong decision. At that point they would have spent more than 2.8 billion.

Sorry, I've taken so many accounting classes.
