Overview: There is usually a direct and very important relationship between time and money. If the planned timescale is exceeded, the original cost estimates are almost certain to be overspent. A project costs money during every day of its existence, working or non-working, weekday or weekend, from day on of the program right through until the last payment has exchanged hands. The variable or direct project costs of materials and workforce man-hours are time-related in several ways. Cost inflation is one factor, so that a job started and finished later than planned can be expected to cost more because of intervening materials price rises and increases in wages, salaries, and other costs.
