This result was predictable by some of us who saw that these projects would be so politicized that rational analysis was impossible.   The time line was simply too long to survive ever changing political influence. The actual death knell to this concept goes back at least to AGIA when two of the three producers refused to participate in AGIA and launched the Denali (more properly described as "denial") project. Now calling for an audit (that can't even be started for at least a year) is typical legislative strategy to do nothing by confusing motion with progress.  This is a story waiting to be written.
