In my line of work, we affectionately refer to this approach as "Seagull Engineering". Why? Because we swoop in, flap around making a lot of noise and commotion, leave a big mess of "stuff" behind and then fly off. (You can substitute your own words in for "stuff" ) No one really knows what we did or what happened.
