> The fans’ resistance to having Dobby’s “grave” desecrated seemingly prevented the undersea cable from going through the area. It was instead rerouted in an area that was close to some Bronze Age remains and urns, which, ironically, are associated with human burial.

The cost of planning the alternative route hasn't been published anywhere yet AFAIK, although it's non-trivial to estimate.

There is some skepticism about the veracity of this. Of course, be skeptical of the skepticism.
