In general there may not be that much novelty per project, but that isn't the novelty that one needs to worry about in software projects. The relevant novelty is the novelty to the project team. Also lot of the novelty comes not from the technical side, but domain and organization that will be using the software.

This is a big argument in favor of experienced devs, who have deep technical and domain expertise.
