“Government work” is what one does for oneself in a shop on company time using company tools, machinery and materials. “Government work” “hides” the fact that you are stealing company resources by implying that it’s a secret, off the books, project. But since everyone knows what “government work” means you really aren’t hiding anything, you’re sharing an inside joke.
When someone says “that’s good enough for government work,” they are admitting that they are doing less than perfect work because it’s just for their personal use.

A Lowest Bidder's or Military Grade standard of consistent and adequate, but otherwise unimpressive work, without the quality of a competitive market. A done job. Not well done, but done.
This can also apply to imprecise but likewise adequate usage of deadly force with too much time and budget constraints to perfectly avoid all collateral damage and casualties.

Person 1: The rifle can just barely hit a watermelon at 500 yards's distance.
Person 2: It's not a sniper rifle. That sort of accuracy is more than accurate enough for government work.

Working hard at not working, or working as little as possible. A fancier way of saying "slacking off".
"Yeah, Bob has been working as hard as a congressman."
"Give me a break! I've been working as hard as a congressman all day!"
"He should really run for congress, he already works as hard as they do."
"Jim is working as hard as a congressman right now, you can reach him later."
