Somebody that I know very recently worked on an enterprise project to create more-or-less a web page that had a $1,000,000 budget.
This is uncomfortably close to the truth, and the reason why government procurement projects often overrun so badly with so much spent is that the budget is set high in the first place. This creates an opportunity to pile on consultants and complexity which can all be billed for.
The size of the budget determines the size of the solution, not the other way round.
