We had a project last April where the lead dev was getting a lot of abuse from management about "Why isn't it done yet, I thought the outsourcer already did all this". I've never wanted to scream at someone more in my entire employment history. It was taking so long precisely because the outsourcer did all of it, and he was having to spend all his time undoing it. It actively cost more money and dev time than if they had never hired them in the first place.
