“Cost overruns” is a nonfiction category covering books that analyze why projects end up costing more than planned and how to prevent or manage those overruns. Titles span business, economics, engineering, IT, and public policy, combining case studies of megaprojects and programs with research on root causes such as flawed estimates, optimism bias, scope creep, procurement and contracting issues, governance gaps, incentives, and external shocks. These books often assess accountability, politics, and ethics; compare delivery models; and offer practical tools like risk analysis, reference class forecasting, earned value management, and contingency planning. Aimed at project leaders, executives, policymakers, students, and informed readers, the category focuses on forecasting, control, and lessons learned to achieve better cost, schedule, and value outcomes.
