And then supporting it. For a decade. 44m might be bloated, but, it goes quick and it is work no one really wants to do due to how hairy and legacy it can get.

Ongoing support isn't the issue here, this is basically a greenfield project with nothing hairy to get in the way.

These contracts often have the hosting and other support fees over some long period built in. I didn’t dig into this one specifically, but it’s quite common.
