(3)

(A) A revision that deviates from the estimated costs of projects pursuant to subsection (a) of this section in an amount that is equal to or greater than (i) ten per cent of such costs for a project with an estimated cost of one million dollars or lower, or (ii) five per cent of such costs for a project with an estimated cost of more than one million dollars, provided such change in the costs does not include changes in the costs of materials,

(4) Subject to the limitations in the authorized funding amount, the board of regents may determine the sequencing and timing of such project or projects, revise estimates of cost and reallocate from any amounts estimated in subsection (a) of this section, for one or more projects to one or more other projects then constituting a component of CSCU 2020 as long as, at the time of such reallocation, it has found that any such project to which a reallocation is made has been revised or added in accordance with this section and such project from which a reallocation is made either has been so revised or added and can be completed within the amounts remaining allocated to it, or has been so deleted. The board of regents' actions under this section shall be included in reports to the Governor and the General Assembly under section 10a-91f. If the board of regents requests a revision, addition or deletion pursuant to subdivision (3) of this subsection, the board of regents shall submit such request to the Governor at the same time that the request is submitted to the General Assembly.
