Is management aware of the implications of the decision made by others? Do they realize that they are essentially unsupported if something goes terribly wrong?

My guess is that no one has told them.

I understand that my advice entails career risks but I think you have a responsibility to make sure that someone communicates the risks and make sure that upper management is willing to accept the responsibility.
