Bent Flyvbjerg, who has assembled the largest database of megaproject outcomes anywhere, sets out with Dan Gardner why nearly all of them fail on cost and schedule, and what the few successes did differently. The recommendations come down to modular design, slow planning and fast execution, and they are backed by the numbers.
