A lack of proper skip level management at all levels. C* / VP is the one looking at the budget and deciding out-sourcing makes sense. The problems with out-sourcing results are technical and detailed and only obvious to those at the other end of the reporting chain. To a C* / VP, they see "Weird, my projects keep missing their schedules for no discernable reason." To a developer, they see "This code is obvious shit and devs are missing basic hygiene practices." There's no link from the latter to the former. And so out-sourcing continues.
