I wonder how the F-35 project with all it's problems compares to the European Typhoon Eurofighter project which also had issues with a blown out budget and extensive delays...in the end they got an aircraft.

Going back in history I believe the Grumman Lunar Lander had 7 year development schedule and an initial budget of $500M which blew out to $2.2B..and that is back in the 1960's.
