Who writes the government's contracts? Well government's contracts may be written by government employees or contracted out. Often government contracts require some of the work by done with small affirmative action sub-contractor that get by by race and not qualifications to perform the work properly.

The contractor of the first part is the US government and the problems are fixed on the contractor's dime. I believe that is in the contract.

Early in my career, I worked on very large scale DOD contracts. Engineers are usually quite good at mitigating the dumb stuff lawyers put in contracts that really push up costs.
