And a step further: a 100k project had commissions, meetings, expenses all associated with a 100k project. If people are cheating enough to waste 100k on useless crap expect them to cheat some of that for themselves. That means hotel rooms, airline tickets, meals, etc and all, and any commission the sales guy shares with you for making it happen. And it does happen...
To take it a step further, Management has to own up to their original failure and try to explain to their bosses how they could spend so much time and money unnecessarily.
Another psychological problem here is the perception by people who do not understand the technology that the higher priced solution is better because it costs more.
