Changing plans

Just wondering who people think is unreasonable in this situation:

A is chairperson of voluntary community committee. A asks B to research cost of community project (planting in area). B costs up and presents to committee. Committee approve and undertake fundraising on basis of costs/plans. Fundraising completed. A has reviewed plans for project again and wishes to change-with cost implications and further time commitment by B. B has passed to A to take forward but A feels B should be doing this.

who is unreasonable?

A-they decided to make changes and so should take forward!
B-they committed to project and so should take forward!

A definitely. B has done what was asked of them, A is moving the goalposts.

B says: 'I presented to the committee and they approved it, fundraising on that basis has been carried out and finished so the task you asked me to undertake is complete. Are you saying you now want to start again with different parameters? I'm afraid I don't have the time/patience/implication/head space (delete as appropriate) to take that on at the moment.'

Thanks @SallySunrise and @thing47. The project is still the same-it is more practical changes A is suggesting-different planters and plants. Which will involve some more work for B to source/cost (or A if B doesn’t agree to do it) and may end up costing more.
