Seems financially risky to me because although they'll make a nett capital receipt, the project will go well over budget as all such projects do.
Then what about people who don't wish to WFH? Fired if they refuse?

They should take all steps possible to ensure it does not go over budget. Not all do, we just tend to hear of the ones that go significantly over budget.
I assume they've worked out who wants to work remotely and who wants/has to work on site and this is included in their calculations. It's not possible for everyone to work from home as they may not be fortunate enough to have appropriate space to do so.

That's because of poor management or underfunding. Plenty of telephone contact services overseas or managed by people from their homes in the UK that operate in all seasons.
