Our project wasn't all that important in the grand scheme of things. Certainly not enough to justify 3 managers for it. I remember carefully asking my team manager why the structure was the way it was and her answer was to simply shrug her shoulders. I see your point about keeping all level of stakeholders aligned and interested in the project. Considering our project size though, and the fact that it was considered a permanent development project anyway, I don't see a reason why the managers should only be responsible for a single team. They had plenty of time to take over that stakeholder management for multiple teams.
