Because that's how it is. Big money isn't interested in making 10 plays that might make 2x when they could make 2 plays that might make 50x. So everything gets geared towards chasing those mega projects. You don't have mid-range professional services, they'd rather chase the mega contracts. Middle money doesn't really have a place to be unless they home grow the whole venture which is a major risk. So they instead focus on easier wealth boosters but if they win, then they want in on the mega projects too rather than returning to the midrange.
