Why should the 192 km phase 1 cost as much as £70,000 million?

This claims that LGV construction costs €16-27 million per km:

At that rate, 192 km would cost €3,172-$5,184 million or £2,855-4,666 million.

It's not being built mainly through open countryside with draconian
compulsory purchase powers.
