Listen, stop playing the fool.  The fact that Brazil was upfronting the cost does not mean it's freeness.  Guyana likely had to give up on tolls and certain charges at least for some time.  The Brazilians, on the other hand, would reap economic benefits.  But so would Guyana às im sure the road would have been accessible to Guyanese.  This is definition of win/win if realised.  

1.  The biggest challenge to moving forward with a project will be funding the initial costs, so if Brazil assumed those costs Guyana will benefit.

2.  You all pay tolls in the USA and don't complain, so why not in Guyana? The fact remains is that there would have been a road, and a port in construction, which would have tremendously benefitted Guyana had this been allowed to happen.  

3. So what if those who invested in the project were allowed cost recovery.  In fact that is how Jamaica has built their highway network and how they operate their airports.

But you prefer no port and so Guyana rises and falls based on what commodity traders decide to do.
