There are definitely critical times where the engineering team can make a big swing in the success of their larger organization. I think that these intense periods naturally invite excitement. Going back to "normal" at the end of such a period is actually pretty hard; the work may not seem as important to the team, yet we have to rebuild some types of quality that were lost during the intense period.

These pivot-points are usually in luls after the storm, when the doomed project has no active-vampireempire on lead due to massive sinking ship jumps but there are suddenly fundings available due to being bought and sold. Thats the moment you get a chance to re-engineer or develop new capabilities - the moment when the MBA outer bark layer holding us all back cracks and gives. The above is mostly about times when all conversations start with "for the procto-cull: I was against this and that" and lots of ass covering.
