The answer is simple: the developer responsible for the progress bar did not actually know the progress she program the progress bar.

During development, getting the work done has a much higher priority than the progress bar. After development, fixing functional bug has a much higher priority. After bug fixing, launching is has a much higher priority. After all, there are priority 2 or 3 bugs, who will care priority 4 bugs?

BTW, the progress bar I liked most reached 30000% and the job still not complete.
