Don, You have 3 decision dimensions. So you need a display that can represent these 3 dimensions in a way or another.
An example a 3 dimensions component is the treemap. I gives you coloring, sizing and hierarchy. And you can map each of this property to one of your decision dimension. For example you can map the size of the treemap cells to the cost, the color of the cells to the technical impact and then the hierarchy of the treemap to the schedule. Doing would give the most costful changes as the biggest cells with (for example) the red color under the "1yr schedule" subtree. The cheap changes would be the smallest cells with (for example) the green color under the "1mo" subtree. See: http://visudemos.ilog.com/webdemos/treemap/treemap.html for the kind of display you can get with a treemap in Flex. Of course any components with at least 3 inputs parameters can be used.
