So... Nearly all US government contracts. Gotcha. Going to make a new company focused in the military industrial complex.
You know it's bad when I can't tell if you are critical of the budget and schedule overruns or the reason behind the budget and schedule overruns.
But I can tell you one thing: if it hasn't already been done, you don't know how long it will take. no matter what they try to tell you, no one can adequately predict the future.
I think it's just the really egregious ones where clearly the original vid wasn't realistic at all, and the company contracted bet that the government will just pay for cost overruns as a sunk cost instead of stripping the contract and giving to another company.
