This sentiment is why I only work in domains that value high-quality work. My definition of high-quality is something that's done well enough that it doesn't have any obvious issues, based upon the current product vision. It should be designed well enough that we can move onto subsequent requirements afterwards.

My clients/employers don't have a say in the quality of the finished product they receive. (They may be angry about this, but my responsibility is to my profession first, and them second.)
