That must have been one heck of a rug pull if $270k was considered more cost-effective than getting someone to work on it sooner.
I suspect it's not so much that it was considered more cost-effective, and more that it wasn't considered at all. My impression was that nobody was even allocated to work on the transition until 8 months, because that's when we started getting emails from their devs, and the upgrade took them less than a week when they actually did it.
