You miss the point - Redevelopment is a governmental process not free enterprise. Its purpose is to benefit the community not to provide profits and speculation to private entities. Certainly there needs to be a 'profit' motive to interest developers but that is not the primary purpose. Profit can come in many forms.. even a loss on a large balance sheet to offset tax liabilities can be a 'profit'. Point being - that the benefit to the community MUST be foremost.
