After construction started, the original estimate of $500,000 for construction and furnishings increased to $800,000.
As of 2009 the estimate increased to $120 million due to redesigns and the addition of related projects.
That estimate, according to the General Accounting Office, increased by $4 billion between 1990 and 1991.
Other estimates increase the losses to 1,134 British and 500 American casualties.
That estimate has already increased from the original $4 billion projection, he said.
The estimate also anticipates that hospitalization costs will start at $8 million a year and "will increase significantly over time."
The estimate of the number of dead in the Bam earthquake increases to 40,000, according to the provincial governor.
He said he thought the estimate of growth could increase to as much as 5 percent from 4.25 percent.
By October 2010, with the runway complete and the terminal building under active construction, the budgetary estimate for completion increased to $212 million.
By March 2004, estimates of costs had increased to $398.7 million and were again revised to $427 million in January 2005.
