I once worked on a team, in house at a company, where we were tasked with developing a prototype, in a scripting language with a well-known web framework. Meanwhile another team at a consulting company, was tasked with developing the final product in java, all very enterprise.
The outside company ended up with a failed project, missing deadlines and going over budget multiple times. The prototype became the product.

Getting paid to fail is a decent second place prize
Let me guess. Someone used JSF and hibernate in the same project. That is an easy way to blow up development time by a factor of 5x to 10x for literally no benefit.
