The link to "BusinessBalls tree swing cartoons" shows how far a project could go astray in Britain. It's getting that way here too, depending on which party is in power and the opposition's resentfulness, currently very high.
Segway posted prints of how cartoonists imagined "feature-creep" of the project. Engineering was small and multi-tasking enough to avoid compartmental division that causes the very real coordination issues mentioned in that article.
Segway engineers had a CNC lathe and mill to make samples of what they designed, unlike the auto factories with their strict union rules. I often had to take a machining project home (and charge the time) because the CNC was tied up. My older model shop sized machine tools are easier to use on scribed layouts.
