Well I believe there were tons starting from financial but here are some that I could think of:

Steel - Just imagine the sheer size of it, the steel intake would be tremendous. Think for abit as how many steel factories they have to order from.

Foundation of the structure - with its sheer size just imagine how deep would the foundation has to be. Not to mention finding the hardrock that could sustain the weight of the structure.

Concrete - I believe up until now, nobody has tried to cure a concrete at 4000 meter. I wonder if the curing time and the strength changes with height as the temperature, moisture and the atmospheric pressure changes.
