I really don't know anything about Japan, but the way government contractors work in this country is they are milking the cow to the max that they can.

I know of a 150 page front end app that was charged at least $40M.

accomplishing anything serious with this attitude is not possible.

Well, that could be a very complex application... Maybe number of pages isn't the best metric.
You might think, but it is not that complex.

I could have wrote that app in less than a year.

The contractors just made it complex to justify the tag price.

A simple change of address logic was 5000 line of java code !!
