What is this feeling based on?

Where is the line between an expert called in to handle one aspect of
a project (e.g. a database expert who designs a database structure
that is part of a larger project) and "auxiliary staffing"?  Is it in
the level of skill?  The amount of autonomy granted to each person?

Can you give an example of a well-defined service or solution?  How
about one that might satisfy a client who needs a custom application
written?

Based on what?
