Thank you for taking the time to write this down, it is very insightful!


No problem. It's probably analogous to showing an end user a UX mockup and then them changing the whole scope of the project and expecting it done in 2 weeks since the whole thing is basically put together. There are lots of changing demands and the system designer (manufacturing engineer or software engineer) is trying to not piss people off too much while achieving the overall goal.

I am putting together a few more examples in a sibling comment right now.
