I don't know if "debt" or "procrastination" are really the correct words. It seems to be somewhat in the middle of the two, where the problem comes from "We'll take care of that in the future." where the future never comes. A good example of that might be in log refactoring. I recently quit a place for what amounted to a complete lack of interest in correcting bad logs. After spending 8 hours trying to fix some non-prod issues and being completely halted by timeout errors, I was told "Those errors are fine, they even happen in prod (!!!). We talked about fixing it, but agreed to do it way further down the line." So, not really procrastination or technical debt, but something similar since it's 'debt' and 'procrastination' are simply symptoms of a larger problem.
