You don't know for sure if it was the developer's fault or not. Not everything a developer or designer suggests makes it into the final product. The client (the government) could have declined the confirmation feature you're recommending. Or the client may have turned down repeated suggestions to update the design. Without more information, blaming this on the developer alone is speculation only.
