This is a problem of incomplete specifications. "Make me a tool that extracts, collates and graphs data from this spreadsheet. We just need it to run once this friday" "Done, super fast, slightly buggy python script it is!" vs "Every month we need a tool to pull data from multiple sources, and push it to a reporting framework. It needs to be scalable and robust... oh and we need it by friday" "Well, you're not getting it by Friday." Deadlines should be a conversation, not a demand.
