Te Pūkenga is an amalgamation of polytechs across the country. It makes sense that the major changes have been related to restructuring upper management.
But they have been operating as Te Pūkenga for a while. I even did a course with them and didn't have any issues.
Organisations are changing almost as fast as the world is changing, I don't know what the author would call project complete but I'd expect once you merge, rebrand, and expunge the extra management then you're as much done as you'll ever be.
Additionally, if this hadn't gone ahead many polytechs would have had to close due to hemorrhaging money.
Yes, it cost a lot of money, and took a long time. But not doing it would have been worse. And just when it's starting to come good, let's gut it because reasons.
