Excerpt from the article "TEN SIGNS OF A SWINDLE"
Assume that you are an owner or a manager of mining and metallurgical Plant, and you have a need to solve some complex technical problem (to develop a project of a new Plant, a new technology, to optimize the processes, to change the equipment, software, etc.). You can't do it yourself, because you don't have experts. By an advice of friends you are accessing to the mediation company offering engineering services and much other. "They will help me for sure here! It's all so serious, it's almost a ministry!" Maybe so. But you should not relax. After all, only you are interested in a solution of your problem.

He also clearly justifies the need to divide the project into numerous intermediate parts and sub-parts. Contractor justifies the need for a large quantity of experiments, analysis, tests, consultations.
Why? Indeed, in this case, it is much easier to justify the exaggerated budget of the project and to dilute responsibility for the final result. Who is a culpable, that it didn't work? Immediately one could not tell it. "It's been a part of the project, and it is made with quality! Let's look at a new project, all these things can be improved!"

And your looting continues.
The worse the work is done, the more contractor earns with additional services to further improve of some things.
