A sunk cost is any unrecoverable cost for which the firm is already liable.  Sunk costs will have to be paid regardless of the decision whether or not to proceed with the project.  Therefore, sunk costs are not incremental with respect to the current decision regarding the project and should not be included in its analysis.
