It's sound policy being enforced for a change... The completion deadline is 2022, but programs like this have mandatory progress checkpoints along the way, and frankly, CAHSR failed far too many to count.
The first significant FRA risk assessment that CAHSR failed was delivered in December 2016, and was conducted under the Obama administration. It's only gotten worse in terms of schedule and cost.
That's why oversight and governance exist on major programs, be it private business or public agencies -- when it's clear adequate progress isn't being made to the point the job can't be completed, you shut off the funding.
