What did targets ever do for us?

(With all due homage to Life of Brian) Date for halting childhood obesity slips back 10 years

The government has quietly abandoned its target to halt childhood obesity by 2010, setting instead the goal of reducing it by 2020.

Not enviro, I know, but just as easily could be, across a raft of issues.

Which rather begs the question... other than adding a whole extra layer of expense and inefficiency to the process, or make it easier to award bonuses (during, not on failure to meet) what do these things do?
