They hire a contractor to work up a solution, and before the product is delivered or sometimes after the fact, the specifications or objectives change, they toss out millions of dollars of work and start over

What is truly absurd is that it costs millions of dollars in the first place. Talk about $100 toilet seats... Any consultant that is charging millions of dollars to do basic systems analysis is really padding the books.
