Your comment actually matches my experience. Projects with grandiose descriptions that sound completely BS. Why do publicly funded research project need to use these "tactics"? In my experience these projects attract the very kind of people that I don't like to work with; people with long CVs that like to speak with buzzwords and that don't build anything interesting or valuable.
