According to today’s NRC coverstory it was the opposite: the project failed because of the aggressive lobbying demanding an exception. And Meta refusing to discuss their datacentre design. IOW it failed because of the way that Facebook treated politics. https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/03/30/agressieve-lobby-voor-d...
If you read about the topic you'll soon discover that Meta/Facebook has been systematically imposing demands for preferential treatment, including demanding circumventing laws to allow agricultural land, some of which they don't even own, to instead be used to build high-density industrial buildings.
This, in a country where Amazon and Microsoft already operate their own data centers. In fact, Facebook rejected the location already used by Amazon and Microsoft, and instead decided to force their way somewhere else.
It's also worth mentioning some of the apparent corruption aspects of Facebook's deal, abusing preferential rights of the municipality to exclude competing bids.
