Costing information not reviewed

- Where an Outline Business Case or Options Appraisal is completed, no indication is obtained of the accuracy of the estimated costs

- Future OBC and OA may contain similar errors

- Review Outline Business Case and Options Appraisal to identify areas where projected information was accurate or not.

Lessons Learnt not documented or shared with staff
