It’s already triple the price. The original budget for the mission was on the order of a billion dollars, it was a New Frontiers mission and missions of that class aren’t supposed to go over that limit.
I appreciate the science NASA manages to get done, but there is something seriously wrong with that agency’s budgeting process and has been for decades.
I’m sure it will be triple the price, but even then it is still cheap.
