WMB - Project delays and budget cuts?

Has anyone else noticed a significant slowdown in project timelines or even outright project cancellations recently at Williams? I'm working on a few initiatives that have been put on indefinite hold, and the reasons given are pretty nebulous, something about 're-evaluating priorities'. Meanwhile, I'm hearing about budget cuts across different departments, particularly for discretionary spending and new development. It's making it hard to plan and feels like we're being asked to do more with less, or at least, the goalposts are constantly shifting. Trying to understand if this is a company-wide thing or isolated to my division. Is leadership making strategic shifts that are impacting our day-to-day work and future outlook? Wondering if this is a precursor to something larger. Any insights from other teams would be appreciated.

Yes, I've definitely seen similar patterns. Several R&D projects I was involved with have been shelved without clear explanations, and the general sentiment around here is that resources are being squeezed. It's creating a lot of frustration and uncertainty about future growth. The 're-evaluating priorities' excuse seems to be the go-to phrase for pretty much anything being delayed or cancelled, which isn't exactly reassuring when you're trying to secure funding or timelines for critical work. Hopefully, this is just a temporary adjustment period.
