1) "not to bother" suggests that *no* attempt is made to do the job, not even a half-hearted attempt.

2) I think "skimping" is usually a way of trying to *economize*.
Ox @ skimp ~
Expend or use less time, money, or material on something than is necessary in an attempt to economize.
‘don't skimp on insurance when you book your holidays’

But that's generally not the case with 敷衍了事.

3) LA
做事搪塞,僅表面應付,草草結束。
例 「他那敷衍了事的態度,真叫人看不慣」。

為了突破僵局,政府一定要有堅強決心,否則會讓人有「反正做不到,可以敷衍了事」的心態。其次,改造要有好的規劃,時程要合理可行、不能急躁,計畫過程出現的非理性因素,純粹是基於不了解、不確定感,很難避免。當然也有銜接的問題,就像在修馬路、修一艘船,只是我們不能讓政府機關先歇業兩年、或者將船停靠在港邊,好好整修內部後再重新上路,這台國家大機器必須邊運作邊修,何況改造幅度這麼大,等於是三百六十度的轉動。
To break the impasse, the government must demonstrate resolve. Otherwise, people will take the attitude that since reform is not going be implemented, they need only go through the motions without any commitment to success. Also, restructuring requires a good plan, with a realistic timetable. The unreasoned objections that are inevitably heard during the planning process stem from a lack of understanding or a sense of uncertainty.

參觀者要仔細的觀看並觸摸,才會發現廣場中間的大樹是假的,所有的房舍、地板也是重新打造,並刻意將其磨損折舊,好產生斑駁的歷史感,牆面柱子也是用真的紅磚慢工堆砌而成,而不是像許多走懷舊風的商業空間,只是在水泥上貼一層紅磚壁紙敷衍了事。
Looking closely at the trees in Taiwan Storyland, it soon becomes clear they, like the buildings and benches, are convincing fakes; all of them were newly built and artificially aged to give them a well-used, old feel. The walls are new too, but were built with red brick, unlike so many similar commercial efforts at nostalgia, which just paste red brick-patterned paper over plain cement.
