In my limited experience you are spot on. Non technical people cannot manage these projects. They don't really understand the project themselves and by outsourcing they think they get to pass their problems on down the line. These people only look at cost and cannot determine skill level or product quality. It ends up costing 2-3 times as much if they went with a real developer from the start.
