That's probably because no single person or entity IS running things in central government projects! The PM is handcuffed by budget and time constraints and will be getting conflicting steers from both the stakeholders and their own boss, then the minister will step in with pressure in yet a different direction. Meanwhile either PWC or Accenture will be called in to "advise" and their view based on 5 minutes in the building will be taken as the only possible solution. Then you get the fact that no-one really wants to have overall responsibility, because that way they can't be blamed when things go titsup.
