We call this project farming where I am. I'm not a dev and don't work in IT industry, but I do work for a large company and every few months some new project is rolled out to 'improve' things and most of the time we all collectively groan and wait for the person to get promoted.
The most frustrating part is when once in a blue moon the project turns out to be useful, and the person gets promoted off of it and abandons the project. Nobody then wants to pick it up since they won't get any credit for running it and it ends up getting abandoned.
