I have seen some of our project specifications for special products in bids go out that were simply downloaded from a manufacturer's website (I was able to later download the same one's) - although our engineers denied it. They also didn't read them very well in order to remove the brand specific references. Just download, copy & paste.
They also one time recently spec'd smoke detectors to be installed on the underside of a new outdoor canopy and tied into the adjacent buildings FA system. Go figure.
