A few years ago, I built some aeroservoelastic analysis software for the US Air Force. It wasn't fancy, but it served a purpose.

This software was a standalone windows program. It was developed under two contracts, the first was 6 months/~$100k, the second, 2 yr/~$1M.

We delivered the software about a year in to the 2 year portion of the contract; we had other analysis as part of the bid, too.

About a year after the contract ended, we got a call from a different department at the same agency, wanting to analyze a different vehicle.

We told them about our analysis tool, how it could do exactly what they wanted. They said they still hadn't received IT approval to run it.

So they installed software that cost essentially a million bucks a seat and couldn't get install authorization in 18 months...

and they were still willing to drop another $800k for us to repeat the same analysis for a different platform.

Good luck with that one. There is literally no chance that gets done in anything less than a decade and a couple billion dollars.

I think the phrase goes, "the best laid plans of mice and men never work when the mice nor the men have any fucking idea what they're doing"
