Also include the "management/administrative tax" - these days mid-management is much thicker and consumes and wastes tremendously more resources.

- acdha 5y agoNot just “mid-management” but subcontracting. This is especially bad in government projects because you have challenges around selecting bidders fairly and if you don’t have enough civil servants doing the same jobs at similar pay it can be hard to have people on the government side who are capable of adequately overseeing a project of that scale. If you end up hiring multiple contractors, you’re guaranteeing a lot of overhead even if it goes well and plenty of chances for a 3+ way blame-shifting exercise if it doesn’t.
