Once again you blame Ben, yet fail to blame those who really caused the delay.  Like I asked before, Name the lawsuit filed by "Ben and company" that resulted in a court ordered work stoppage?  My guess is you wont be able to because at no point did a judge order work to stop while a lawsuit went through litigation.  You wanna talk delays?  What about the 3 year delay that occurred when the city issued out its contract to Kewiet in 2009 even before getting any type of approval from the federal government.  Or the year long delay when the city decided to begin construction and try to skirt state law which required it to do an AIS before construction was to even begin.  
The only one to blame for rising costs due to delays is the city, no one else.
