I heard that relatively smart govs stopped doing stuff like this that the outsource whole projects, but now they "borrow" programmers e.g "give me 20 programmers with higher edu and 5 years of experience" and we will lead this project.

but I'm not sure how's the reality.

Sounds like a good way to get unmotivated programmers who sit around drinking coffee all day and not doing any work, because hey - the longer this project takes, the more bonus our employer gives us!
