They can't move some of the money to another project. People have given them money in the hopes of making this one that much better.
My favorite parts of adventure games are always the little unexpected bits, like the extra dialogue for characters in Curse of Monkey Island, and the little games at the convenience store in Sam and Max hit the road. I hope the extra money will avail them to add more of those little touches, because Telltale games are completely lacking in them.

This is kind of interesting given recent events.
In 2004, Ron Gilbert laid out hypothetically what he felt it would cost to build a state-of-the-art 2D adventure game with an experienced staff:

He concluded that to do it would cost about a million dollars, minus marketing and distribution costs. Unlike 3D, I don't think the needs of 2D game development have changed radically since he wrote that, although obviously costs to do things at a world-class studio in San Francisco are a bit higher. Still pretty encouraging.
The Q&A updated: "We were aiming to finish in October of 2012, but in light of the increased budget we're planning to expand production to ensure we make the best game possible."
YES EXPAND PLS
I already told you that!
I think less than a year is rushing it if you have the budget (which they do now).
They told me that in a PM on kickstarter like 3-4 days ago and I told you and then you didn't believe me.
