And so the twin drive to point the finger and avoid carrying the can continues.
The London Assembly has released a press release squarely blaming "internal processes" at the LDA for the Olympic land blackhole.
Dee Doocey, the chair of the Economic Development, Culture, Sport and Tourism Committee, said: "Once again this undermines confidence in and raises questions about internal processes at the LDA.
"This shortfall will have to be met by taking funding away from key programmes helping Londoners during the recession.
"What we heard today amounts to nothing less than breathtaking incompetence."
They are understandable comments and it is easy to see why political parties and individuals are so keen not to be blamed by association for what has happened.
However, it's hard not to sense deeper fractures between the political factions and between City Hall and the LDA that need to be resolved before improvements can be made.
