The mechanism

The chart shows two hill-shaped curves of project prices. The 2024 curve sits high and wide, with a top price near $180K. The 2026 curve has slid left and bunched up, with a new top price near $70K. The savings from doing the work faster flowed to whoever holds the pricing power, and right now that's the buyer - so the whole price range dropped instead of your profit rising.
