My experience with a military project was different. 

Spend over a year writing a very detained spec.
Implement the system following the spec religiously
Realize the completed system doesn't work very well 
Tough shit, it was built to spec
Make very expensive cost plus mods to get it working. Sort of.
Abandon project when Congress gets sick of pouring money down a rat hole.
