The Website that Should Never Be

In the weirdest turn of events on my current project, we built a website that the stakeholder never wants anyone to actually use. Yes, you read that correctly. This web site was built to meet an external requirement, and warns any users to contact our stakeholder before using it. It produces a lovely list of information, so it actually functions, but I struggle with "why" anyone would ever build something like it. What questions would you ask of that stakeholder, to bring to light the risks of such an endeavor? Why would we hire expensive contract resources for 3 months to build such a ridiculous solution? Let's role play!
