And also, in a way, really really good. It gave them time to know what they actually need and not waste money on something they (incorrectly) thought they needed.
- lumost 5y agoThis can also describe almost every software project in history. By my estimation any project delay will incur a redesign which is 50% due to new technology being developed and 50% due to different parties in the design discussion. Even in Defense contracting land, If you delay a contract by 5 years then nobody from the original proposal will still be around. Had the contract originally gone through there would probably be incremental development to keep it up with the times.
