But other than a national economic crisis, how would you perceive that a program like this would ever fit into a municipality's planning process and its capital process?
The point I'm getting to is that what you engaged in was a process where the main beneficiary was the national economy, not particularly the municipalities. They may have gained by putting programs forward, but the main beneficiary was the national economy. When municipalities get caught up on particular details--a deadline, for instance--we need to have this flexibility: municipalities went out of their way to work on the national priority.
