Seeing as it is still a highly secretive program, the black world research the public will never know about could account for alot of the cost. With such a high price, it is possible there were many technical problems along the way which resulted in the high costing.
After all, we are talking about a stealth fly-by-wire tactical bomber, not a typical heavy-role example such as a B-1 or B-52.
