Lime plastering should be cheaper, the materials are cheaper, and any
that falls to the floor can be re-used, unlike gypsum (as long as the
floor is clean), so there is less wastage. As the plaster can be worked
for longer, its easier to apply, the only downside is that it takes
longer to set.

No its not cheaper its more expensive because lime takes longer to set
than gypsum and it has to be tended during that time. The tending time
adds a certain amount to the bill
