Negative Numbers on R&D Window

This is an issue I struggled with a lot. When research comes close to its end, I really got troubles. 

Problem is: negative numbers on projects as u can see in the screenshot below:  

you can see the FTL Sensor Lipscating got a negative cost ammount


I had lots of troubles with that kind of R&D issues like the following

-projects stopped and needed to be finished with lower investment

-choose new investment ammount is difficult because when you try and get negative result u need to try again

-projects can't be finished/ ruined for the game, because the last 10 Credits that are needed to invest are > 1%

-If you have a negative project, it dissapears in the to do list when u add a new one


I tried to compensate it, with stopping at roundabout 90% and finish with 1% investment and hoped for a Eureka finish.. 

without being so cautious I 'lost' like 3 projects for ever, especially 600k or 900k ones


Maybe you can add a 'resarch to finish button' or the 'overpayment' is paid out after reserach.....
