Abstract

Are delays regularly experimented by major state programmes synonymous with failure or, paradoxically, would they be a strategy for success? Through the appearance of delays in the context of a programme of drones, this article puts forward the emergence of a strategy using these delays. The constraints and interests of the players push them to tolerate, accept and even implement this strategy despite the disadvantages associated with the situation.
