Estimated vs approved budget
What the project proposal estimated before approval, against today’s approved budget and the estimate at completion
- Approved is SYP 257.5M (7.5%) above the estimate
- The estimate at completion is SYP 623.4M (18.1%) above the estimate
From the «project proposal & feasibility study» approved at the approval gate on 2025-01-21 · The gap between estimated and approved comes from the scope update and the change requests approved after the approval gate.

- If the rest goes to planSYP 4B
- At cost and schedule performanceSYP 4.5B
- The PM’s bottom-up estimateSYP 4.1B
- To stay within SYP 3.7B, cost performance on the rest must rise to 1.34 — above what has been achieved.
