IF it can be associated with R&D costs then its another ball game altogether

In the case of the Synapse above, they have to do it this way because it was a new frame design, and the only way to get them in the peloton is via pre-production prototypes. IIRC that's the UCI rules.

I think it might have been the same deal with the Roubaix and the Domane as well.

I think so, yes. These are the custom peloton bikes you can see and get written about because the pre-production stuff is interesting and rule bending.
