Something like this happens all the time in Corportate IT, I've been seeing it a a lot lately.

It goes like this VP agrees to do these projects in 2018 at X amount. VP gets the highest possible cost for X. VP cuts projects and/or project budgets down to bare minimum. Now he can say he saved whatever amount and is a hero for saving so much let's give him a fat bonus.

Exactly, you can always fool the metrics, but everyone who is paid by metrics is doing it.
