I worked in the past on an IBM project with the TSA, and they were indeed the prime on a large software contract. About half the team was IBM, the other half medium to small sized subs. Honestly, most of the wasted time wasn't the engineering teams being slow, but anytime something had to be run by the government, it halted. It was utterly depressing.

This was my experience as well, it was mainly the arbitrary road blocks. When I'd be on a call and realize there was finally another dev on the line I'd immediately get in touch via email or chat and back channel while the swarm of project managers talked about who knows what.
