I think that part of the reason we get so many "studies" done is because of how government accounting works. IMO the scenario is they have $250k free to use. But that isn't enough to do anything significant, like electrification, bridge-building, land acquisition, etc. And they're required to spend it by the end of the year (they aren't allowed to save it for next fiscal year). So you get a series of small studies that essentially waste money but look like they're accomplishing something.
