AIUI, most of the overruns were in severely underestimating the cost of the plant. Though I'm going off memory and could very well be wrong. Some of it was also that she was originally intended to use the new C14 catapult, and the system was even partially installed, before it was canceled and standard C13 cats were installed instead. I'm not sure how much of that development cost was tacked onto the Big E, but I'm sure some was.
