Some challenging but interesting features accompany this property, you have a multi-decade project that can not require less than excessively complete employee turnover simply due to retirement alone, but it's possible to pull ahead technically and stay that way. OTOH, it will never be possible to deploy everything you have to offer. You must be capable of effectively mothballing some technology for future deployment.

You need to allow for this since you are doing some of the most undesirable work that others have run away from for exactly reasons like this. So there is so much left to do.

It's almost like an element of bureaucratic martyrdom can not be avoided.

Governments sure are high-rollers though and continue to throw money around like they didn't work very hard to earn it, of course it's always been spoken for over generations too. Well spoken for at least in the opinion of the spokespersons.

So I wish you good fortune and may you speak loudly but carefully, be well heard, and bring in voices which were too faint to get a share the old way.
