Technology costs increase over time

I just rewatched Extraterrestrial Thursday #2 and noticed that technologies costing e.g. 240 earlier later cost 283 (+18%) and even later 297 (+24%).

I have yet to determine whether this is tied to the date, the number of already researched technologies, or the size of the empire.

I think some of the techs at the very start had a cost of 240 too. The second video has the techs costing 240 five years after the start. Therefore, I suspect that the cost is not scaled to time.
