Fujio Matsuda, HART exceeded its large contingency fund by a lot, indicating that it was inadequate at managing its financial resources.  There is nothing to indicate that things have changed.  The lawsuit you mention was brought because the rail project did not comply with Hawaii's historic preservation law, and the subsequent required compliance resulted in a year of delay.  The management of the rail project has been severely deficient, and any proposal to continue the funding of rail must first correct these deficiencies.  Otherwise, rail funding may go on indefinitely.
