Parkinson's Law in M&E Research

The research today has become a commodity to be manufactured as tailor-made-product. The client decides the budget & the sample size upto primary sampling unit. Now as researcher you are to design the size of respondents to fit the budget. Now all your research design is to suit the budget. Therefore one can introduce corollary to "Parkinson's Law- The research design expands as per the budget available". I have seen top research organizations of the country following this law while submitting the proposal of evaluating National Development Scheme of a famous Ministry of Govt. of India.
