$15 billion of a $126 billion project is about 12%. If only 12% of the final projected cost has been spent, wouldn't it be a good idea to pause and figure out how to get the spiraling costs under control before proceeding? Why are the only options to accept the insanely high cost and finish the project or reject the obscene cost and abandon the project. How about get the costs down to a more reasonable level and finish the project?
