They started this project 14(!) years ago, planned to be finished 2019, costing over 11 billion Euros.

Nobody wants it.

The site is still under construction (thought to be finished next year).

Oh, there were ppl who wanted it, just not the people like you and me. They held a referendum: about 60% were against it.
