Contriving

It's probably selection bias, but I swear every government contract I hear about sounds like this description of the construction phase of the USS John F. Kennedy.

In September 2013, the Government Accountability Office recommended delaying the detail design and construction contract for John F. Kennedy until programmatic shortfalls are sorted out. The Navy and Defense Department have rejected the recommendation. The Navy faces technical, design, and construction challenges to completing the previous USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), including producing systems prior to demonstrating their maturity to meet required installation dates. The Ford had costs increase by 22 percent to $12.8 billion, and additional increases could follow due to uncertainties facing critical technology systems and shipbuilder underperformance. Risk is introduced in the navy's plan to conduct integration testing of key systems at the same time as initial operational test and evaluation. One action the GAO says could be taken to ensure Ford-class carrier acquisitions are supported is conducting a cost-benefit analysis of required capabilities and associated costs

I particularly like that last sentence. "Oh, a cost-benefit alanysis, whodathunk?".
