That is paritially true, engineers love change orders, but it's the user that drives the requirements to meet the mission.
Another part is that Congress cuts the budget for a program, which means quantities get cut and schedules get extended. I worked on one program where the govenrment had to bear the cost of keeping the skilled labor when contracts were delayed in being awarded.
I have a feeling that the refrigeration untils for AF -1 probably have unique requirements, or the buy is being combined with a bunch of other expensive stuff and when you divide the cost of the contract by the number of pieces being bought it makes for expensive refrigeration (and spare parts)
