A few things.

That throw away word 'complex'. Many projects are complex. But if you are so deskilled that you can't perform already established government risk assessment procedure, well...

Once the guy had to answer real questions and not just blab his bullshit prepared statement...

Nepotism still 'runs' government and/or government/outside agency teaming efforts.

Call in friends and family.

Not all that complex.

From someone that has been in and observed government for over 30 years:

Should come as no surprise that the failed experiment known as the DMO spawned the 'International Centre for Complex Project Management’ (ICCPM) and the 'Competency Standards for Complex Project Managers' on which this purported ‘Centre of Excellence’ is based.

Some extra history.
