their
original requirements or close to it.  I think the HumVee is a good
example,
it was designed as a general utility vehicle and fills that role well
without a bunch of extra doodads standard.  Perhaps a better number
might be
percentile dice plus 100 as the final percentage cost for the project.

Plus you might want to take into account some of the effects of the
redesign. E.g.make up a random table of additional gear and dice once
for
every 10% cost overrun.

For an FT example that could be:

1 - 2 no combat-relevant benefit (extra crew living quarters, perhaps,
or on
up-to-date entertainment system)
3 - one extra PDS
4 - one extra Beam-1 battery
5 - two extra boxes of armour
6 - one extra hull box / row

You get the idea.
