Except the fact that plenty of large private organizations manage to do things like this every day. The NHS is huge but no bigger than Walmart's worldwide organization. But if Walmart spent $25 billion dollars on a system they'd do it with the knowledge that it has to be done right or they'll drive themselves out of business. While with government agencies you have politicians, who don't know what they're talking about, defining artificial timelines based on political concerns. So the project implodes 7 years later and no one holds the individual politicians accountable.
