I don’t think so. What gov ca could do is tell everyone this is not acceptable. Engineers need to realise they are in great demand and not put up with the random stuff corporations tell them, like they should earn less because they’re in Canada or the UK.

The Japanese government is extremely capable of awarding status to bureaucrats, and historically that gets a lot of Japan's best to select into joining the bureaucracy. Whether that has broadly positive results is a complex topic that I am someone constrained from discussing.

Civil Service Accountability and Project Management Failures

You won't be fired as a civil servant, and won't suffer any consequence at all really, if your project is over budget, doesn't achieve goals, and arrives years late. All of that is par for the course; we wouldn't have a civil service left if there were actually consequences.
