Having sat in on some upper-management meetings where these kind of odd-logic projects were discussed, what I have gathered is that often there are political turf wars and in-fighting that obfuscate the common sense concepts of "logical process" and "best-case costs."
Many in upper management deal with turf battles so much that it becomes second nature to suspect anyone making any suggestion of trying to gain some advantage that can then be used for leverage later or on a different project. This easily clouds their logic and they loose touch with "logical process" or "higher costs" as priority, or even important. Cutting costs or improving the process, logically, can provide side-benefits to a subordinate manager that is, for whatever reason, on the decision-maker's black list. That might be good, short term, but damaging long term. Of course, these things can't be openly discussed... Not saying that is what always happens, but I think it comes into play more often than not.
