All these rules are very artificial and address symptoms without actually addressing the disease.
Just tell them the max they can spend (that a majority of the field can raise) and let them decide how they want to use it. If they want to rebuild after every race, they can. If they want to bring three different front wing designs (and spares) to every race, they can. They just have to save some money in other areas relative to what the other teams are doing.
I suppose it's not just F1 over-specifying things. ASCE 7-88 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings was about one quarter inch thick. ASCE 7-10 is one and a quarter inches thick. Five times the thickness! The laws of physics have not changed in 22 years. The code is just over-specifying how to apply them.
It's a rampant disease!
