The $200k price tag is unsurprising if you factor in the cost of non-coding work like requirements gathering, travels, expenses, benefits, etc. This seems like a simple app but when you have a design by committee, approvals, etc it can be quite manpower intensive.
The OSHA document is not rendering for me so I can't tell if there's a cost breakdown.
I highly doubt there was design by committee. More like:
1) Dev gets contract, builds app
2) Person who was arbitrarily moved to dept. of mobile-app development reviews app, figures it's good because it works on a phone, forwards the results to his/her boss.
3) Repeat step 2 at a higher level
4) Done.
There is a more stringent audit trail, perhaps. But I doubt there's a committee of people who sat aorund a whiteboard and designed this puppy. I hope there wasn't, at least.
