I’ve seen this. Speeding up X isn’t on their roadmap/plan. Even though someone did the work, even with full tests/etc, integrating it will steal time from the testers. Even if it’s only 2h. That means they might not hit the existing plan, even if it’s a 0.5% chance. So they won’t take the risk. After all, it’s not part of the plan. So it goes on the backlog for when the roadmap is smaller than capacity (read: never). Because no one is going to push hard enough. That would waste capital needed to get the Blorp team to do the thing needed to complete stuff on your committed roadmap on time so you don’t get screwed and left holding the ball. And all that is when operating in good faith, assuming the receiving team isn’t pulling NIH or some other nonsense.
