The way to make a profit on government contracts:
1) Underbid
2) Find every possible use case that’s OBVIOUSLY needed, yet not in the specs
3) Leave them unimplemented
4) Charge through the nose for the extra work.
The system has already been paid for and put to production. It’s too late for the buyers to back out, lest they be out both money and face
