  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Cost Estimate: The primary cause of this error is that there is no cost estimate available for the reference project you are trying to access. This could happen if:

  Incorrect Project Reference: The project reference you are using may be incorrect or not linked to a valid cost estimate.
