Suppose a company does a little project. It is kind of successful, money is made staff is paid.
It is so successful one might try it again in four years time. But that will be another project in another country, with different customers.
In many companies the information used in the old project will be discarded or left in a corner without anybody looking at is. The database with the data of the project will still be on a server or just in a couple of backup's. But nobody will be looking at it since the project has ended anyway.
I suppose that is what happened to the FIFA.
