Overbudget Initiative

/ˌoʊvərˈbʌdʒɪt ɪˈnɪʃətɪv/noun
ELI5 mode

An overbudget initiative refers to a planned project, program, or endeavor that exceeds its originally allocated financial resources, often due to unforeseen costs or poor estimation. In modern business and project management, it highlights the risks of inflation, scope creep, and inadequate planning, turning what could be a success into a cautionary tale of fiscal strain.
