There is also incredible bureaucracy, such that attempting iterative agile development is almost certainly doomed.
One reason many Web apps are so sleek and fit is that the developers could code, release, judge, and repeat daily.
This is much harder to do with large entities, who a) will need to present Accounting with the One True Final Cost for pre-approval and budgeting, and b) will need to have Official Sign-Off on the Absolute Final Specs from some dozen department heads.
