These things drive me crazy, 40 million $? I'm sure half of the people here in HN if not more, would do it twice as good, twice as fast, for a fraction of the price.
On the other hand, I've worked with tough clients that want a solution "for everything" and force the vendor into a rigid waterfall / BDUF but in the same time keep changing the requirements as they go.
But come on, for 41 million dollars you can develop it as static pages, that get submitted to mechanical turk and will have change to operate this for years... I don't get the math.
I'm in the wrong business, I should start applying for government contracts.
