I think that means, the cognitive complexity is not in scale with the business requirements. If I had a service I needed to set up once and maybe update a couple of times a year, but took multiple days to sucessfully update, I'd spend some effort on making iteasier to make changes (either by better understanding, simplifying the system, or rewriting it to remove overhead).
