Public contracts (like the one mentioned in the blog post) are "valued-based" ("contrat au forfait" in french).
But you can circumvent these by over-billing contract additions/change in requirements ("avenants" in french). In theory those are limited to 20% of the original amount, but with contract renewals and if the government agency already sunk large sum of money into the project it's possible to bypass this limit.
