The Oxford English Dictionary
[When the project was finally agreed with the Clarendon Press in 1879 it's title was to be :
"A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles formed mainly on the Materials
collected by the Philological Society and with the Assistance of man Scholars and Men of Science".
It was expected that it would run to some 7000 pages and take 10 years to complete.
Clarendon Press estimated the cost would be £9000.
In fact it cost £300.000, took 16.000 pages and wasn't completed for 54 years !]
