In my experience, government is indeed much slower in approving outlays for team projects. One of my interview questions for prospective bosses of mine, is something along the lines of:
- Suppose I am on your team , and I want to develop a prototype/PoC, which costs $1,000, and you're okay with it
- What is the process to get approval for it?
- How much time elapses between starting the approval process and receiving funding/greenlight to start spending?
In my current job, the answers were "if I'm okay with the idea, you can start immediately".
In a previous one I left, it required CEO approval (hence why I ask now).

This should be posted to /best. Nice - and I'll definitely add it to my list, should I ever hunt for jobs again!
I don't find my government customers to be more or less chock full of red tape than my non-government ones. Sometimes my large corporate (utility) customers can be worse than even the National Parks Service, and generally always worse than local government.
