If the company is going to pay for all the costs you've estimated for this project, someone has to figure out where the money is going to come from. More than likely, the company's budget, as well as your department's budget, has already been set. And unless someone built enough padding into either of these to cover your new project's expenses, it's likely that your project may cause your department, as well as others, to go over budget. This dilemma may not be the problem it initially seems. If corporate management approves your project and costs, then the various department heads will have your proj- ect as a ready justification when they have to explain their overruns. If the project is sponsored or initiated by a very high-level executive, she may direct you to charge all of the project's costs to a special department code that she is responsible for, which alle- viates everyone else's concerns about their own budgets.
