As someone who has worked with state funding contracts I disagree that this implies anything shady. Hourly rates for consultants at exorbitantly high. It also depends on how the project is big, fixed feed versus hourly bulk. Regardless, the amount of hours quoted and the rates are inflated based on politics.
It's not shady, its just incompetent people signing contracts to promise tech companies bags of money.
