Relatively
If the cost of a project was being calculated:
1 "The cost of the project was considered relatively."
2 "The cost of the project was considered in relative terms."
3 "The cost of the project was considered absolutely."
4 "The cost of the project was considered in absolute terms."
Could 1 = 2, and 3 = 4?
1 "The cost of the project was considered relatively."
2 "The cost of the project was considered in relative terms."
3 "The cost of the project was considered absolutely."
4 "The cost of the project was considered in absolute terms."
Could 1 = 2, and 3 = 4?

" Relative to what? " Neither of these seems natural. Do you mean the actual cost?
- " Relative to what?
- " Neither of these seems natural.
- Do you mean the actual cost?
- Why not just say The cost of the project was considered.
- The real or actual cost will be assumed.

Hi,
Of the 4, #2 and #4 are best. But my earlier comments still stand.
