I think it's important to keep in mind that the OP is a consultant not a developer at a product company. I'm sure they end up working with external development teams that can't simply be dismissed (or fired), but must be worked with for the good of the customer.

Simply saying "bad management" or "bad hire" takes too narrow a view on software development. The OP is a developer trying to get work done with the team, not a manager with authority over the others.
