I've got perception that bureaucrats are reluctant to change things for the very reason the new things can come worse - and those specific bureaucrats will be held accountable, in one way or another. In other words, I doubt there is no reason to try to do better.

May be incentives as a whole are different enough - say, lesser, if we can compare - with government-baked projects rather than with privately backed ones.

Could it be so that government is less efficient, but only on some projects where it can have good competition from private resources? May be government is better - or actually the only option - with some other areas, where you just can't find private backing?
