The revolving door problem is another unique form of corruption that military contracting has to deal with.
Somewhat related, to get my current job I had to sign a bunch of conflict of interest forms because I jumped ships from one side to the other. So some controls exist for the behaviour you brought up!
I'm not saying this stuff never happens, either, I'm just remarking that the professional standards and expectations are very different in military contracting versus software.

So there's a lot of arbitrary requirement shifting between actual requirements and as-bid program requirements... which invites arbitrary requirements adjustment on behalf of the bidders, but that can be explained away as {insert semi-justified reason here}.
