I don't know any large successful project that is sponsored. Probably some boondoggles run by friends and family that go nowhere.
Suspect projects include GAIA X (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAIA-X#Controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAIA-X#Controversies). It will probably have the same success as the NHS software fiasco, which wasted £10bn:

And again, various EU countries open source software they've created, or data they have for that matter ( open data). Your contemptuous pessimism is fully unwarranted.
