I say go right on ahead - do your thorough audit. Do you know what it will likely find? That the vast majority of the cost overrun is due to factors that have nothing to do with the management of this project.
If done right it would at least show why there was such a huge delta between the earlier and later cost projections. If it had nothing to do with project management, it would imply that the cost of land, labour, and construction materials literally doubled within less than two decades which would be an interesting revelation. Not saying it isn't possible, but not sure I'd expect that to be the likelier finding.
