This depends. Some companies are more value driven than budget driven. In the
commercial software companies for which I work and have worked, it is
acceptable (but sometimes uncomfortable) to be late and over budget, but never
to fail to provide revenue-delivering value. Likewise, some companies are
time-to-market/value delivery driven. Here, it is acceptable to be over budget
if we can get a release faster.
