As Sure as Death and Taxes

Is the fact that a high profile indigenously developed defense system developed by the Indian military defense establishment will be completely fracked.

In this case, we are talking about the Tejas light combat aircraft, where we are seeing delays in developing its radar and other avionics, and the Indian Air Force has just rejected a joint venture with Snecma do develop the Kaveri engine, which has been in development for the small fighter for over two decades.

Seriously, the Indians have the US beat hands down in the dysfunctional defense procurement apparatus department.
