If software engineers get too comfortable with one framework or tool a bunch of them will just try something new or some new paradigm since they're bored. This has always been a source of delays in projects I've seen, not sure what the construction equivalent is.
The other side of this conversation is that construction does get delayed or not finished. Talk with anyone that has built a house and they'll have horror stories of months of delays. Commercial is the place to be for construction, residential seems like endless issues up and down.

Many other professions are much more interested about providing services in time and reliably, than about innovation.

Small/medium construction companies prefer to work on bigger projects than a house for obvious reasons. So they'll come over and do parts of your house in between jobs on the bigger sites which freqently means massive delays.
