"What we paid for what we received haunts me. I have never seen such poorly thought out, poorly documented, and just barely working code " I would have tried using agile practices. You would have seen the code that first Friday and raised your hand and stopped more production. Instead, it sounds like you waited for things to be done, later found out it was crap, then wanted a redo (not agile). Agile has sprints, with weekly checkins, you would have found all this out that first sprint and given feedback.
