    I worked in a system development area years ago. It was an annual income tax system. The designers designed for about half a year; the build people made the code over an overlapping half a year; test tested the code over about half a year.

    Whatever you did, you worked half a year, and were idle half a year

    This was after the internet, but before we had internet to the desk. It was before smart phones, before cell phones

    It was terrible.
