Having worked on big government projects with big consulting companies, that's pretty unlikely. Government projects are usually undersold in order to win the tender and are subsequently delivered late and to a low standard, the difference is that they're rarely high-profile enough to get noticed by anyone who makes procurement decisions, and so the consulting companies' salespeople get to bid for the next one. I've seen program managers getting pretty nervous when senior bureaucrats start breathing down their neck - I'd have to admire the balls on one who intentionally fucks up a project while being personally scrutinised by the President of the United States.
