Who is really at fault? [View all]

Correct me if I am wrong, but when you put out bids for a job you state what you need and when it is needed by. Correct?
So when the company won the contract to create the ACA website, they knew what they were bidding on and when it needed to go live right?
So how is it any ones fault but the company's that it went live and it didn't work?
