What Pentagon officials say -
And what they really mean:

Essentially Complete
It's half done

Risk is high but within acceptable ranges of risk:
100:1 odds, or with 10 times over budget using
10 times the people we said we'd employ.

Potential show stopper:
The team has updated their resumes.

Serious but not insurmountable problems:
It'll take a miracle...

Basic agreement has been reached:
The @##$%%'s won't even talk to us.

Results are being quantified:
We're massaging the numbers so that they will
agree

Task force to review:
7 people who are incompetent at their regular jobs
have been loaned to the project

Not well understood:

Results are promising:
Turned power on and no smoke detected - this time...
