Those are a feature of Software Engineering, as opposed to Civil Engineering.
If there was a cheap way to turn Towers into Bridges (and the cost of failure was comparable to that of an app having an outage), our infrastructure would look a lot different.
I know quickly changing requirements are a pain for those who have to do the implementation, but, commercially, that flexibility has significant value.
