You approved a $1M budget. The final invoice reads $1.3M. Sound familiar?
Most project budgets don't fail because of poor planning, they fail because of what wasn't planned for. Every project carries an invisible expansion pack: scope creep, last-minute changes, untracked resource hours, and the small decisions that quietly compound into significant costs.
That 30% gap isn't a rounding error. It's a pattern and patterns can be broken.
Understanding where the bleed happens is the first step to stopping it. Because the most expensive line item on any project isn't the one you approved, it's the one you never saw coming.
