Estimated vs approved budget
What the project proposal estimated before approval, against today’s approved budget and the estimate at completion
- Approved is SYP 362.5M (12.3%) above the estimate
- The estimate at completion is SYP 464.6M (15.8%) above the estimate
From the «project proposal & feasibility study» approved at the approval gate on 2025-02-25 · The gap between estimated and approved comes from the scope update and the change requests approved after the approval gate.

Every manual update — who, when, why and from which source
No manual edits on this project
All its figures come from the finance-system sync. Finance & procurement — and the project manager, for the estimate at completion — can update them by hand.

- At today’s cost performanceSYP 3.4B
- If the rest goes to planSYP 3.4B
- At cost and schedule performanceSYP 4.5B
- The PM’s bottom-up estimateSYP 3.4B
- To stay within SYP 3.3B, cost performance on the rest must rise to 1.04 — above what has been achieved.
