TBH that sounds like a lot of code I've seen from outsourcing companies in India. Their typical approach is to copy an existing program, module, web page or whatever and modify it as quickly as possible to turn it into what's needed. The result is often a mishmash of irrelevant code, giant data queries that happen to retrieve some field that's needed along with a ton of unnecessary crap, mixing frameworks, etc.
