Is social spending bugged?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Lately I've been trying to get a better handle on my economy by watching my spending a bit more but one thing is really throwing me off. Countless times I'll set up a building and raise spending untill it says "1 week" yet the next turn it's annoyingly at 90% or some such. I finally got tired and tried to track down what behavior caused it and I couldn't really nail anything definitive.

So I looked into the PlanetImprovements.xml and looked up the cost of the building I was trying to build (Banking Center). It's listed as 250 so I setup spending such that I had 250 shields under social. Much to my irritation after hitting the turn button it wasn't finished!

So I'm stumped. Is this a bug? Why is it saying "1 week" and then sometimes not finishing in a week. Also why isn't it building based on the costs in PlanetImprovements.xml?

Hi!
Why is it saying "1 week" and then sometimes not finishing in a week.

The time_to_finish, displayed in planet window, is not updated correctly. The most accurate value you'll get in planets/flets list (first button from the left). There you'll also find the price for anything in production. Just click on the item, and a small pop-up window will open with all data.
