Consultant here, The bullshit is epic. Examples: - The system has spark 1.4 installed on it, and the customer needs spark 1.6. But their support contact is with company Y, who have it in writing that the customer cannot deploy upgrades, they must be paid to do it. So now, a simple package upgrade, turns out to need 4 managers to sign it and schedule it, and have meetings about it, then authorize it, fit it into a billing period. And wait - why do we need this again? Can we schedule a meeting with Team B to ask why we need this? Oh they're not available until September, ok let's book a meeting on September 7th 4pm with 25 people to try and get some clarity. of the 25 people, 12 will reject with no reason, 12 will accept and 1 (the actual person we need to talk to) is booked on holiday and isn't back for a month after that. Now take all of this, and multiply it by 10 and apply it to every project.
