The structure of financing and maintenance via P3 changes the economic considerations, since you don't worry about the price today, only the price over time. Considering what construction inflation has been, it makes sense to over build that can't be easily upgraded in the future.
Sort of like buying a condo with all the upgrades, instead of renovating them in later, even though the marginal upfront cost would be unaffordable, paying for them over time and upgrading upfront is cheaper.
