That requires banks to lend those companies money, or investors to pay that until they get some money from the contracts. Given that these companies are unproven this is unlikely to happen.

Maybe for some tiny projects, and that would make sense to build up the industry, but not for really serious stuff.

When the milestones are close enough together the risk for investors is relatively small.

So each milestone would be a "tiny project" within "really serious stuff".
