The cost of being late

Article Abstract:

The delay in releasing and implementing the Joint Staff's Mobility Capabilities Study, which was supposed to be released in November 2005, will be costing more money, as Boeing is already beginning to wrap up production of the C-17 airlifter. The Intratheater Lift Analysis is also being delayed and the two lift studies are rolled into the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR).
