I assume you're referring to the government funding, the way bureaucrats have interferred with the project (and the 'businessmen' who've willingly fed at the public trough, etc), and the consequent avoidable failures of many aspects of the project. Or maybe you are suggesting that to the degree it is successful, it undermines private efforts to undertake similar projects and makes the government look good undeservedly. (A la the space program in its heyday.)
If so, I agree. I chose to focus on the heroic engineering effort. (I considered not including that example, because it's a mixed case.)
