I don’t like seeing local businesses fail, but this seems amazing to me. At what point do you get so deep into a project that it’s ok to pay well over 3 times the original amount you budgeted for? And on what level does a contractor become, if not culpable, at least crazy ignorant? I can’t imagine quoting a potential client amount x and then going back over and over again until I’d charged them 3 times my original quote.

SAP, the world’s biggest maker of business-management software, took almost three years to implement the system instead of one year, while costs “ballooned” to $36 million from a projected maximum of $10 million, Shane said in papers filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver.
