Such a game already exists, and unfortunately, many people are forced to play it daily. The only good thing about those people being forced to play it, is that they get paid to do so, and get a nice "Software Maintianer" title. The ones who actually start the game, didn't know about the rules when they started, but for some undefined reason, they abide by all rules specified.

There is a small difference between your rules and the rules of the game that I know is currently being played. In the real life version of this game, the players are allowed to talk to the Manager, but that does not make it any easier. The Manager has no knowledge of what is happening, and because he manages so many projects, he thinks using Tie::Hash::Cannabinol may help.

When requirements change, players get two days to finish the project unaltered before the new requirements are told, so they can train making modular programs that can easily be changed. Another type of special person comes to play in the real life version: the Maintainer. The Maintainer is the only one allowed to write documentation, and makes sure the project can still be run when the game has officially ended. The Maintainer does not get to have a gun, although he does get to use some other LARTs, if - and only if - he manages to rewrite the entire project. 

- Yes, I reinvent wheels.
