"It means that a solution is possible but the financial burden of it is significantly greater than the benefit."
So, essentially in your context you can say: עלות גבוהה ולא משתלמת
Depending on the agency, this choice can be cost prohibitive.
בחירה זו עלולה להתברר כגבוהה מדי ולא משתלמת

For example:
בחירה זו יכולה להיות בעייתית מבחינת עלויות
בחירה זו יכולה להיות יקרה למדי
