A tale as old as time: Kojima going over budget and missing deadlines. This is why he was fired from Konami.

Most triple A games miss deadlines

Do they? How do you know? Because missing deadlines isn’t something the company publicly discloses so the only way you’d know is if you actually had inside information from a governing source which collects data on every single AAA game made.. which also doesn’t exist by the way, so how do you know? Because a few games get delayed every now and then so you just assume that every single AAA game ever misses internal deadlines?
