For those wondering how the project could have cost so much, here are some of the annual salaries that were paid out:

  Job Title                     Annual Salary
  -------------------------------------------
  Specialist, Level 4A          $676, 031
  Project Manager, Level 4      $661, 628
  Project Manager, Level 3      $632, 653
  Project Manager, Level 3D     $601, 286

Those job titles are set by the government and specify what pay is going to be. My job title at my current company is Computer Analyst, yet I am a computer programmer. The gov't contract we have mandates that specific title.


And yet what programmer, or project manager, has a salary of $676,031? Those are top-level manager salaries.


Yeah, those look like outrageous salaries. But, to be fair, I doubt they are salaries. They're probably derived from hourly consultant rates of around $250 / hour.
