... mentioned in the thread (University project).

That's not terribly helpful - you need to post the Link!

.. development kit ... high costs of them

Really? Which one(s) did you look at?
Remind us what your budget is...

SiLabs kits are avilable from about £30 - the most expensive one at Farnell is £155:

I will develop on veroboard

Remember that this is a world-wide forum - not everyone will recognise UK brand names!

"Veroboard" is a brand name for strip-board.

i was wondering what you guys generally do with a QFP

Richard has already mentioned wire-wrapping;

I would put it on an adaptor from the likes of Wilmslow or Roth (see RS/Farnell), and connect that to the stripboard.

Here's one I prepared earlier (not TQFP, I know):



For stripboard you really need an adaptor to a DIL pinout; otherwise, you could use matrix board instead...
