Listening to RNZ, seems the media's trying to make it sound extravagant & unacceptable (and on par with mismanagement and other human incompetence) that a public works project ends up costing more & is delayed due to an unforeseen need to preserve a directly-affected skink population and the biodiversity it represents. That's one of the few causes for gov't project blowouts I actively celebrate (it should've been identified & costed prior to the project going ahead!).
