Wiki

A megaproject is an extremely large scale investment project. Altshuler and Luberoff define megaprojects as "initiatives that are physical, very expensive, and public."[1] Bent Flyvbjerg defines megaprojects as typically costing more than US$1 billion and attracting a lot of public attention because of substantial impacts on communities, environment, and budgets[2].

Megaprojects include bridges, tunnels, motorways, railways, airports, seaports, power plants, dams, wastewater projects, oil and natural gas extraction projects, public buildings, information technology systems, aerospace projects, and weapons systems.
