How about get the costs down to a more reasonable level and finish the project?
Well there's a novel idea - let's spend less money.

Should we start by getting the cost of steel down? Or maybe we should get the cost of labor down instead? Or wait - here's an idea... maybe we could get the cost of building a tunnel down!
