Reply to comment by tiregroove in Cost of 2nd Avenue Subway extension to East Harlem balloons to $7.7B by Grass8989

I have actually worked in consulting. I don't see how any of your points prevent what I'm suggesting from being possible.

ok so have you or any of the consultants you've worked with EVER taken a fee contingent upon results? And if so, how long did you wait to get paid? Months? Years??
