Could you say a bit more about the game being played here? No need to spill any secrets, but I'd love some "for example" items to understand it better.

Maybe CA is different, so YMMV, but im NY the game is unions, and filling the site with so many workers, due to union regulations, that they can't even work from each other. So there is a lot of waiting, which of course is billable. Now on top of all this the workers might be working illegally. And who actually compares on-site events and crew numbers/sizes with invoices? Well, if you don't want trouble, you don't.
