Germany has a history of poorly managed public projects. From the big projects in the last decade, there is not just Stuttgart 21, but also the new Airport in Berlin and the Elbphilharmonie-concert hall in Hamburg which are infamous for taking too long building-time, wasting too much money and offering a poor job for what they are supposed to do.
In similar vein there are many smaller projects which are just waste of money for no benefit. There is even a whole tv-series of such obscure failed projects, as also regularly reports of the fails of Germanys Government in handling Money. So Germans have very low trust in public projects, especially when they are expensive.
I guess such views do exist in most countries to some degree, but this is something that specially triggers German mentally, which usually more composed and on the peaceful side. Similar behavior surfaced in the last year with the different pandemia-rulings, and now with the vaccinations.
