On record
The four-laning of the Ludhiana Southern Bypass was tendered in 2010 with a two-year deadline but wasn't completed until 2019 after officials failed to complete inter-department formalities before the tender was allotted; poor PWD-Irrigation Department coordination drove repeated design changes.
The official record states: "Attributed to "apathy" and administrative negligence: inter-departmental formalities were not completed before the tender was allotted."
“Tendered before the formalities were done, finished seven years after they should have been.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Tendered in 2010 with a two-year deadline and opened in 2019, because nobody finished the departmental paperwork first.”
“The PWD and the Irrigation Department spent most of a decade redesigning the same stretch along the canal.”
“Sixty-eight crore of overrun, seven years of detours, and a bypass that finally bypasses something.”
