The possibility of establishing any major new project in the US in the 2023-2033 decade, including a Higgs Factory, is limited due to the rising costs and multi-year delays of existing projects. In particular, at Snowmass, physicists expressed deep concern about the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) project, which has risen from a base cost of $1.3B in 2015 to $3.1B for a de-scoped instrument. Cost over-runs and delays of DUNE are problematic due to stiff competition from a similar experiment in Japan, leaving physicists to question the value of DUNE results when they are obtained. Worries were expressed by physicists that issues with DUNE were "smoothed over, not smoothed out." Some physicists at Snowmass suggested that the DUNE project might be cancelled, comparing the ominous cost-growth to the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) that was cancelled when the cost tripled.
