That's how BDUF software consulting works. Design something unusable but make it cost as many billable hours as possible. That way, it has to be thrown away and it's job security for the consulting industry to keep a desperate customer throwing money at non-solutions.

A better approach is agile with customer's actual employees guiding small changes all along from the beginning, and customer's project managers/budgeting managers tracking progress, requirements, and costs.
