The part that sucks the most is when opportunity cost of not doing something is "globally" high, but the other party only optimizes locally for themselves. You will see, especially at work, when you have something that makes a ton of money, but people will be uninterested because it doesn't benefit them as much. At that point you require lots of escalations.
