I’m in favor of exploring interesting areas, and broadly sympathetic to there being more work in this area.
I’d quickly note that I think the framing of “megaproject” seems distracting to me. I think the phrase really made sense in a very narrow window of time when EAs were flush with cash, and/or for very specific projects that really need it. But generally “mega-project” is an anti-pattern.
