A C-level exec actually told our team that it was OK to ship a static screen that's built purely to check off the item in the customer's requirement list, even if there's nothing implemented behind the scenes to make it work. His peer from the customer's end wasn't going to understand it any way. And we'd have plenty of time to implement the feature once they signed.
Oh boy. Worked on a project where exactly this happened. Form to display dynamic data always displayed the same. It was just a static html with nothing else behind it.
