Which I think is partially due to institutions becoming less efficient with time as more organizational scar tissue accumulates (certainly seen a lot of this at the companies I've worked for). Plus gov departments tend to accumulate extra low-return responsibilities from politician gimmicks (the mismatch between what sounds good in a headline and whats cost effective).
Which in turn I think comes from scope insensitivity, we just aren't good at understanding scale and underestimate defuse costs.
Basically all of them.
