Ted, > The Dreamliner's budget is now 120% higher than first estimated.

A 20% overrun in the budget isn't the big concern, IMO. The time-to-market is, though.

Nothing wrong with outsourcing some parts of the project if done right. Unfortunately it's one of those things that you can't just get right the first few times out, unless you're lucky. You have to build up the experience and get a good feel of what remote sites are capable of. And often you won't know what the stumbling blocks are until you actually stumbled over them.

But that's no reason to get hysterical over the move itself. Or think that outsourcing is going to be the death of the American economy (though see my last post for a good link related to that).
