    Are you able to link the source document?

    However, as an example of why nuclear is seen as risky, time-consuming and subject to massive cost blowout and time delays, see Flamanville 3 ( https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-a-f/france.aspx Under “new nuclear capacity”)

    It’s gone from being a project started in 2004 to build a 1650MWe plant costing 4.2 billion euros (in 2020 euros), to an estimated completion date of 2024, at 13.2 billion euros.

    And this is France, a country that is very familiar and well-versed with building nuclear reactors.

    Without the source document, this may well be the example you use from your 2nd bullet point. But I wouldn’t have called this a startup.
