Abstract
Large-scale infrastructure projects are often finished late and over the initially planned cost. In Germany, this has been subject to heated controversy over the alleged waste of public money. The Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER), and Stuttgart 21 are prominent examples. This chapter examines large-scale infrastructure projects in different sectors, including buildings (construction, maintenance), energy (wind, nuclear), information and communications technology (ICT), defense acquisition, and transportation (airport, bridge, port, road, rail, tunnel, and waterway).
