A couple million dollars doesn’t go very far in the particle accelerator world.
That is true, but FASER is not expensive and its low cost and rapid construction schedule are made possible by re-use of hardware from other experiments.
More information on FASER can be seen of the web page of Jonathan Feng http://www.ps.uci.edu/~jlf/

That was my first thought, reading this.
A million here and a million there and you’re still not going to have enough to buy dinners for all the physicists on the project.
