There's bugs and there's bugs. There are syntax errors and type errors, 
and just plain typos. Compilers can catch a lot of those (although some 
compilers I've grappled with had arbitrary rules that just caused 
trouble themselves). But then there's the class of bugs caused by faulty 
specs, flawed analysis, and just plain lame thinking. Even the best 
compilers aren't much good at those. :-(

I am very happy to say that most programming problems aren't anything 
like that complex!

I once headed a team trying to save a project on which 30+ programmers 
had worked for 3 years generating something like a million lines of 
code, and the result was too slow and lacked functionality. We tossed 
all their code, but were held to the same spec.  We started with a team 
of 6 which quickly grew to 8, each of whom was assigned to a particular 
critical subsystem. A few months later when we had the basic systems 
programming done (data base, network, basic message passing, etc.) we 
added about 10 more programmers to do the specific applications (power 
management, lighting systems, reports, etc.). After a total of 18 
calendar months, we passed the acceptance test.

Indeed, we had to meet the specs regarding what had to happen in what 
length of time and according to what rules, but we didn't have to follow 
the same internal approach or methodology, and we did quite a lot of 
"redefining". For example: there were ~30,000 control points, organized 
by building, panel, and point on the panel. There was a given point ID 
format, 16 characters long, for identifying them. Messages had to 
include a point ID, time, and value. These messages were 64 characters 
long. We designed a database with building/panel/point indices, from 
which we could identify a unique point with a 2-byte record#, and we 
designed an internal message format that passed all the required 
information in 8 bytes. Externally, all displays, reports, and other 
human interaction used the expanded forms, but the internal message 
passing was 8x faster just because of the internal design simplification.

I don't know much about CCS (although I once met its head, a charming 
guy), but that sounds like the kind of management structure that is used 
when what you have is a lot of relatively low-skilled coders. It can 
work in that environment, though I personally much prefer working with a 
small team of very smart professionals.
