I don't see any simple solution here. Someone is going to have to tell the owner the bad news and the options and let him decide how much money he wants to spend. I still think my previous idea of drilling thru the tile and concrete into the dirt below and just boring over to that hole is the simplest and cheapest. The hole in the tile can be covered by a floor box for a receptacle.
How big of a hole would you need in order to mole it? I've only ever seen it done for services and the manual versions. Both require pretty big holes.

I have seen videos on YouTube where they bore a hole an inch or so in diameter. Only need a short trench to get it going. What difference does it make? The trench can be filled in.
