With long term infrastructure projects somebody has to do some crystal
ball gazing many hears ahead, and that is why this sort of situation gets
to be. add to that that the projects tend to take on a life of their own
as people realise there is money to be made here and you end up with a bit
of a white elephant and lots of places suffering from planning issues
making the house literally worthless if you want to move.
I fully expect this can also be said of the new Heathrow runway, or indeed
any new runway. People seem to think it can keep us in the game for air
trnasport but the fact is that fewer goods will be moving soon in that
way,

In fact far more goods move that way than ever did before.

so why are we even bothering?

Because far more goods move that way than ever did before.

I wonder how much money has been chucked away to date?

not nearly as much as has been wasted on windmills and solar panels....
