Sydney Opera House—one of the most recognizable images of the modern world. It was designed by Jørn Utzon of Denmark in 1957 and deemed, at the time, a spectacular failure. Even though it is now revered as an icon of Sydney, it was originally labeled a “white elephant” and “acoustic nightmare.” When construction started on the Sydney Opera House in 1959, it was estimated to cost AU$7 million and take five years to build. It was finally completed in 1973 (9 years behind schedule) at a cost of over AU$100 million (AU$93 million over budget.) Even though this project failed to meet the traditional project management success metrics, it is
considered a huge success.
