Let's also not forget that execs are horrible at estimating work.

"Oh this'll just be a copy paste job right?" No you idiot this is a completely different system and because of xyz we can't just copy everything we did on a different project.

Then they have a deal concluded etc, and then suddenly that information reaches the people who'll be actually doing it.
