		If the budget is cut by 10%, then the project will have an accompanying degradation of quality by 10%.
		If the project budget is an honest one, then a reduction in budget must be accompanied by a trade-off in either time or performance.
		A 10% reduction in budget will be accompanied by a loss of performance much less than the target reduction in cost.
		Most projects have "padded" estimates, and the budgetary reduction will force out the padding from the project.
