It's very possible that someone will be offered a cushy job to perform to the study and possibly a group of people will be involved. They may meet once a quarter for the next decade and discuss what to do, get paid an annual salary and never realy work on it.

I met a guy that was part of a committee to build a statue in Washington, DC for some ex-President. I can't remember who. He had been on the comittee for 12 years at the time collecting his pay check. They met in DC twice a year, stayed at the Westin and partied pretty hard on your tax dollars. They knew that if they completed the task they would lose 2 free vacations and a 5 figure bonus.

This may go on for a generation or more.
