What happens is they pocket $295k and spend $5k on an actual project. In Poland a company got ~$150k to make a system to collect and count votes for local elections, it failed spectacularly. It turned out they employed one 23 year old CS student to make everything over about a half year. No public salary data, but I bet they paid her something like $800/month. The saddest thing is she got most of the blame for failure, if you google her name it's the only thing that comes out.
