I think they're using a really loose definition of the word 'budget'.

They had a budget and went over it.
Then they had another budget with a contingency fund on top ,and they went over that budget too. How does not spending all of the contingency fund count as coming in under budget?

Under budget :?

Which "budget" are we referring to as they seem to have moved the budget goalposts numerous times.
