You need those drops to add up, or else any future budget requests will be met with doubt, rejection & reduction.
If a department estimates they need $6M for a small project, carries out the build and leaves $2M untouched, that looks bad for every engineer involved, the contractor's who bid the job, and the director. It goes both ways, and in the end balances out, but no department is going to be say no to necessary improvement over (what those in the industry would consider) chump change.
While it may not make sense from the outside, the construction industry is a trillion dollar industry that funnels into the economy on nearly every level.
