I think this must have been buried in years old docs and layers of design that nobody understands what's going on under the hood. I wouldn't blame either parties, I suppose the process can be improved but it's very subjective. There'll be a new missing piece tomorrow and you'll have to "improve" the process again. I think this is simply a side effect of fast moving software design. Things will settle down in a couple of decades when the AI lord takes over.
