Here we go again, re-fighting old battles!
Test and Evaluation Organisations, and that includes everyone involved, have always and only delivered Advice to a nominated Central Organisation. The Central Organisation responds to the Advice based on numerous factors. Many of those factors are hardly conducive to delivering the best outcome.
Oh, and of course The Contractors also deliver plenty of Advice.
Historically, the end result has invariably been an unhappy one. We all know of the problems, the pressures, late spec changes, failure to meet the spec, someone new and senior arriving in an influential position and wanting changes and so on.
There is no point in banging on about things long past. It would be refreshing to believe things were now better because of 'Lessons Learnt' - how many times do we hear that statement - but things are not any better by far from where I sit.
