In the directed research game I am testing out the game wouldn't let me start doing Pre-Sentient Algorithm even though I have both Cybernetics and AMA. So I figured I'll do something else first and come back to it later.

A few turns later, UoP, which was building the Planetary Datalinks, suddenly switched to HSA and completed it one turn later.

This, to me, is a ridiculous turn of affairs. Since the HSA is so much more expensive than the PD, How could UoP do that, when it didn't have money (I am the Planetary Governor)?
