Doesn't seem unreasonable to me. You're asking for a bespoke product, a complex product, a safety critical product and a product with zero resale value and one only we can produce. You want everyone working on it to pass strict security checks and you want it all kept secret. Plus you know we UNDER bid to get the main contract knowing we would make it up on add on like this. Oh, and all our engineers are really busy trying to overcome bigger issues with a major new product.
