There is quite a track record of major construction projects in Germany that have not been completed on time or on budget. 
To list some of the more recent ones, there is the Elbphilharmonie (completed in 2017) in Hamburg and there is the Berlin Airport (BER, completed in 2021), both of which were supposed to be completed in 2010/2011 and were at least 7 times over budget.  

Of course, there are also examples of unfinished construction: Less known, but quite prominent if you enter the city of Hamburg by car, is the Elbtower. It is a skyscraper that is currently "under construction". It will be an impressive building sometime in the future, but construction was stopped at the end of October 2023 due to lack of money (from a private company). (More Information from NDR.de)

Which brings me to this very money bank:

It can be printed in two separate parts. Both have a slot to put money in. Obviously for a building project: Once you have filled the lower part all the way up, you are entitled to complete the "construction" by adding the rest of the tower. Of course, your expensive journey does not end here, because you can still put money into the upper part! ;)


And, just like for a real construction project: If you fail to finish: it is not easy to get the money back!

Based on the Elbtower and its current state of construction. You can find more information on the wikipedia article  or just google Elbtower and admire the numerous pictures.

 

You may be wondering why construction in Germany takes longer than elsewhere? I found this article very refreshing: Its possible to make it cheaper (in german)

By the way, there is even a guide for large projects from the German government. One would say that this does not happen again…
