Who pays for route changes?

When an infrastructure project's route is altered due to public or environmental concerns, the costs associated with these changes are typically absorbed by the project developer. These costs can include redesigns, new surveys, and potentially longer construction times, ultimately impacting the overall project budget and potentially consumer prices.
