Why would a website that took over 600 million dollars and 3 years to develop not work?

Because it's a federal government projeect. You really didn't expect it to work, did you?

It isn’t a website. It is actually a web application, a very big one. A web site just serves content and pages. A web application interacts with the user and back end data bases. Actually IBM or any other big Software Development shop would have a hard time with 9,000,000 users a day.
