The study was carried out by industry training body Opito and the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board.
No government, let alone an intergovernmental body, can make engineering and economic decisions in lightning-fast Internet time.
In the mid-20th century, elite car builders reached the effective limit of the materials (steel and aluminum) and engineering (body-on-frame) available.

The largest is the creation of a standard to allow files to travel between networks, a process that often takes the Internet's standards body, known as the Internet Engineering Task Force, more than two years.
The standard they designed was approved early this year by the Internet Engineering Steering Group, the body that helps manage the global network, and an updated version of it was published on the Internet last week.
It will be tricky engineering T cells to survive inside the body long enough to destroy the cancer.
"The possibility of engineering a radiation tolerance in the human body would be very important because it's one of the limiting features of space travel, " he said.
It is the way tissue engineering should be going - getting the body to regenerate itself rather than trying to grow complex body parts in a test tube.
While many offer leg support, a team from University of Pennsylvania recently took silver in an engineering competition for its TitanArm prototype, a powered upper-body exoskeleton that, as the picture above shows, allows you to out-rep anyone at the gym.

But, ironically, the Japanese automaker would never consider outsourcing a quality-sensitive operation like a body shop or paint shop, says Jeffrey Liker, a University of Michigan engineering professor and author of The Toyota Way.
The technique used by Green and Hollister is part of a burgeoning field called regenerative medicine, which involves engineering therapies -- using things like stem cells, or "body parts" constructed out of biological material -- to harness the body's ability to heal itself.
"The human body is a lot more complex than silicon, " said a professor of biomedical engineering and radiology at Columbia University after Grove's speech.
It ends with a Star Trek-esque feat of engineering where missing organs are replaced using cells culled from a patient's own body.
At Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, electrical engineering professor Dong Ha and his team are in the early stages of studying how to employ body heat to power a circuit.
