The Danish architect Jørn Utzon won the architecture competition set out by the New South Wales government for building The Sydney Opera House in 1957, and the construction started in 1959. The project was originally scheduled for 4 years with a budget of 7 million dollars, but it ended up taking 14 years and almost 105 million dollars to be completed. Although the client changed the requirements of the design after the construction was started, moving from two theatres to four, since the funds came almost entirely from a dedicated public lottery, the project was not a financial burden for the government. This project was done in 3 main stages: - stage 1 was the podium and finished with an additional cost of 1.2 million dollars in 1962, - stage 2 was the outer shells and ended in resignation of Utzon and the takeover of the project by three Australian engineers but at the end was completed in 1967 with a total cost of 13.2 million dollars, - and stage 3 was the interiors and windows and finished at a whopping cost of 85 million dollars in 1973. Please name the main 4 stakeholders of this project who are mentioned in the text. According to the text, what were the main criteria of the project at the start? Do you think this was a successful or failed engineering project? What is the reason for your answer?
