Just about everyone. It is damn near impossible to uinderstand the requirements when the government 'subject matter experts' don't have a clue, which isn't helped by branches in different geographical locations follow a different process for the same task achieving a slightly but significantly different result. Managers incapible of making a decision and unions protecting jobs further adds to the complexity.
Yes, I'm emotionally scarred by government contracts. I need to breath deeply and remember that simply delivering a mostly working solution under these conditions should be considered a success.
