One big problem is that the production usually starts at a high rate, then declines quite rapidly - say 20-50% per year - for the remainder of the field life.

If you design for the peak rate, the plant will be expensive and underutilized. If you design for a lower rate, the plant will economically insignificant and you still have to flare a lot of the gas initially.
