The projects planned for the year for which appropriations have been made shall be commenced in that year; however, if a project cannot be commenced within the year for which it is planned, the secretary of the department shall file with the project records a public statement as to the factors causing the delay, and the next priority project shall be substituted therefor. When the delaying factors have been overcome, the delayed project shall be placed in the highest priority for the next ensuing fiscal year. Unresolved debt resulting from project cost overruns approved by the department shall be paid from current year funds. Any remaining debt shall be given top priority in the following year. Funds allocated for each project shall remain so allocated until the project is completed and the project costs are liquidated.

The New Orleans International Airport or its successor shall be prohibited from participating in the airport priority program for five consecutive years from the first fiscal year in which such priority program is funded by the legislature only if, as, and when House Bill No. 80 of the 1989 Regular Session of the Legislature of Louisiana is finally adopted and approved by the electorate.*
