As an IT consultant myself I can see the whole project going massively

It's rather rare for the government to abandon a project which
doesn't work. That requires both:
a) An admission it didn't work, and
b) A realisation that it's best abandoned.
It's rare to see either one of these in practice, leave alone both.

Yes, I hear today that they're sending (I think) 4,000 British soldiers to
Iraq, in addition to those already there. Not to fight of course, to train
the Iraqi security forces.
