I expect most of it was spent on bureaucracy and trying to figure out what they actually needed.

- dagw 10y agoYea, people forget how much effort that can be. I delivered a project last year where if you where to just look at the very simple final product and look at how much it cost you'd accuse us of either incompetence or corruption. However what you won't see are the two more complex prototypes I made according to first the original spec and then the revised spec, all the meetings (with travel time, since they where two towns over and always wanted all the meetings to be held in their offices) it took for the client to eventually realize that they actually wanted something much simpler and the massive efforts of collecting the all the data (in various obscure formats) needed to put together that simple solution.
