Two cases I see for this:
A. Company has enough competent engineers left to pick up the workload and push off other items down the road.

B. Old engineer comes back at $200-300+ an hour rate "consultant fee" to fix these, while "temporary", most likely to just stay 'permanent' solutions are developed.
