Could a safety-critical project linger for years, with little progress ?

Question

If there are "problems" with the project, isn't it likely that rogue staff have been sabotaging the project - for example by saying "Use the most recent version of everything" ? The system can't be fixed, within the guidelines that have been set up. Fixing the system would involve violating taboos.

Answer 1

Of course it could, cause computers will be thinking for themselves, like robots, why we want this technology I dont know, but maybe I've watched terminator too many times! :)
