    Impacto de los sobrecostos en proyectos de infraestructura pública y privada sobre el valor de los activos desde la gestión de proyectos
    Herrera-Barragán, Juan David; Herrera-Barragán, Miguel Ángel; Linares-Romero, Laura Liliana
    For a long time, cost overruns in infrastructure projects have been treated as an obvious, almost self-evident symptom: a budget deviation that must be corrected or, at best, justified. But hidden within this widespread yet superficial interpretation is a crucial omission. The amount of extra spending is measured, but rarely is the question asked of what is actually gained in return. As if the additional money, simply by virtue of being invested, carries an implicit promise of value. All research that aspires to say something relevant about reality faces a silent dilemma: remain in the comfort of theory or risk the imperfection of the data. This study, wisely, opts for the latter without abandoning the former, and in that decision lies one of its greatest strengths. The combination of theoretical review and analysis of real-world cases is not new in appearance, but here it acquires a particular nuance. It is not about using theory as decoration or data as mere illustration, but about making them engage in dialogue. Twenty infrastructure and building projects developed in Colombia between 2005 and 2023 thus become more than just a sample: they function as fragments of a broader story, where each initial budget and each final cost reveals decisions, contexts, and, on many occasions, discrepancies that are difficult to ignore. The results show that cost overruns are not exceptional, but quite frequent, reaching increases of nearly 87.88% in some cases and an approximate average of 32%.
