I worked on one Department of Defense (War) project. There were over a year of endless meetings to develop specification document. When it was finally finished the hairy assed coders were to implement it. It didn't matter if implementation discovered the beautiful document was bullshit. By that time there was so much ego involvement it would be implemented as designed regardless. A few high profile projects come to mind. Why do you think the F-35 has had endless software problems? I also have experience in bidding against companies like Lockheed Martin. Of course they won the bid and then had the brass bound balls to approach us to subcontract with them as primary since they didn't have a clue.
