It is not quite that simple. The government will have to say yes, since this is a big infrastructure project that wants land next to existing highways. I don't know much about politics, but I do know that, sadly, the net gain for the country over time is not a weighty criterion in such decisions.

Getting government support for the project is part of the risk and cost analysis, and I don't believe it would amount to a very large percentage of the total cost.
