The Human Genome project.  Advances in science and technology made the studying/recording of the human genome much faster and much less expensive than the government had originally budgeted/planned for.

Yes, it was one of the most significant achievements of the Clinton administation. It resulted in deficit reduction for all eight years of the administration, and finally brought the US fiscal house in order after 12 years of Republican budget mismanagement.\n\nFor more information, try:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibus_Budget_Reconciliation_Act_of_1993\n\nFor the actual text of the law:\nhttp://naic.acf.hhs.gov/general/legal/federal/pl103_66.cfm\n\nFor a report on the consequences:\nhttp://www.clevelandfed.org/Research/Com93/1015.pdf

General Leslie Groves was the chief project engineer - he later went on to manage The Manhattan Project, which built the atomic bomb.\n\nGround was broken for the Pentagon on September 11, 1941, with construction completed in approximately sixteen months at a cost of $83 million.\n\nDuring the early years of World War II, with construction supervised by the future Manhattan Project supervisor Leslie Groves, 680,000 tons (620,000 tonnes) of sand and gravel were dredged from the nearby Potomac River for the new building, which were then processed into 435,000 cubic yards (330,000 m³) of concrete and molded into the pentagon shape. Very little steel was used in its design due to the needs of the war effort.\n\nThe primary reason for building it was the World War II required a massive increase of personnel at the War Department, and they needed a building large enough to hold everybody.

Andrew Jackson and Bill Clinton. \nUnlike the constitutions of most states, the United States Constitution does not actually require the United States Congress to pass a "balanced" budget, one in which the projected income to the government through taxes, fees, fines, and other revenues equals the amount proposed to be spent. This has led to "deficit spending" and the creation of a national debt. Except for a short period during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, since its inception the United States Government has always been in debt. At one time, President Bill Clinton mananged to create a balanced budget for the national government.\nUnlike the constitutions of most states, the United States Constitution does not actually require the United States Congress to pass a "balanced" budget, one in which the projected income to the government through taxes, fees, fines, and other revenues equals the amount proposed to be spent.

But a Bill is a Bill, There is no gray area in that. Samuel Adams addressed this in a speach during his Presidency, but the act and later bill sponsored was all but forgotten untill 1983 when it was passed and made Law.

the project management team has a fair idea that whatever be the task at hand, it can be broken down into predictable milestones. \nAnalysis and design are two such milestone. SO the plan just lays them out as to-do's. \nOver time as each milestone is reached the plan is reviewed to account for things that the last milestone reveals about \nthe overall needs/progress.\njainnys\nhttp://www.mindexp.com

I get projects like this all the time in Social Studies. One word: Google. Google something like "Current + events + India" or "India + news".

No way.  Bush just wanted to please the media and the public.  How can there be "Mission Accomplished" if there are no clearly defined objectives?

It depends on what issues you are talking about. For example, the "No child left behind" act is a Federal program (in theory it is meant to help improve education in this country) but the Governemt is only telling the state what to do and what standard to meet. The Federal Goverment needs to back that up with Federal money and not just enforce the rules it made up.\n\nIf you could define the issues/programs/concerns that a State should control VS. Federal Control your question could be answered more effectively

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency\n\nThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military. DARPA was responsible for funding development of many technologies which have had a major impact on the world, including computer networking (starting with the ARPANET, which eventually grew into the Internet), as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.\n\nIts original name was simply Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), but it was renamed DARPA (for Defense) on March 23, 1972, then back to ARPA on February 22, 1993, and then back to DARPA again on March 11, 1996.\n\nDARPA was established in 1958 in response to the Soviet launching of Sputnik in 1957, with the mission of keeping the US's military technology ahead of its enemies. DARPA is independent from other more conventional military R&D and reports directly to senior Department of Defense management. DARPA has around 240 personnel (about 140 technical) directly managing a $2 billion budget. These figures are "on average" since DARPA focuses on short-term (two to four-year) projects run by small, purpose-built teams.

You can't put a timeline on something like that, it would have to be ongoing, not to mention immigrants still sneaking in the country.  I could literally see a new federal agency heading this project for as long as the country is in existence.
