Not that it applies to this project, but in my experience, this is one of the plagues of the lower-paid engineering team.

On the books it looks like the company is saving money by hiring on the low end of the salary scale. In practice the budget is spent inching away at minor upgrades, while enthusiastically adopting new techs for experimentation and resume-padding purposes.
