> With a budget of billions it would not be a problem to spend (only once) some money for a new airport (I guess now its spend every four years in some city to modernize their nearest airport).
Look at the BER disaster, it was supposed to open 2007 and most likely won't open until way after 2017.
I believe building a permanent Olympic site in Greece would bring similar delays...
BER is a german project[0], and so is the Elbe Philharmonic Hall[1]. Both are long overdue and over budget. “Putting the Germans in charge” may very well not help to avoid delays.
