Mustang vs Eurofighter isn't really a fair comparison in a number of ways.

The most important, I think, is that Mustang wasn't a government project, but one designed and built by a private company to meet an existing wartime need.

Eurofighter by contrast was a government job start to finish, built by three companies in three countries. Starting with a DNA like that delays and cost overruns are baked into the process.
