That means that there was haggling for some time, as seems to be evident from the minutes of the meetings of the steering group of the paediatric board and the Department. There was haggling over the guaranteed maximum price which took a great deal of time. The minutes of the meeting in April suggest there were difficulties with the guaranteed maximum price, yet it took until November to sign off on it.

That suited the developer, BAM, because the longer it went on, the more it was going to cost. The cost eventually went from €432 million to €556 million. Why did it take from April until November for the issue to be resolved?
