It costs you about $3bn for the whole "chain" - for 5bcm (billion cubic meters)
Pipelines cost that much for about 1,000km - to carry 40bcm. Pipelines can be flexible when they plug in a dense network (as in Europe), just like LNG can be flexible when theyre are already more than a few physically accessible alternatives - in the Atlantic basin, for instance (a cargo from Nigeria canbe diverted to the US instead of Europe, for instance, or vice-versa) In the long run, we're all dead.

I assume the LNG limit is the producer LNG terminal, right?

Most LNG producers engage in "de-bottlenecking" at all times - i.e. precisely increasing the capacity of the limiting link at that time. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
