In general, it's difficult to comment on a lapse without understanding how and why it occurred. Often with capital projects it has to do with the pace of the project that may have been affected for any number of reasons. You really can't speculate on it. It would require going to the department and getting an analysis. I'm sure they have an analysis of why the lapse occurred. Then you'd be able to judge the reasons for it. That would be informative. But just simply looking at the number in its raw form can only point you toward asking the first question; it doesn't necessarily answer the question.
