How many structural parts does a school have that need to be considered? How many iron beams? How many floors? Several thousand at most? Everything else on the BOM doesn’t matter - wallpaper isn’t a structural priority.
In computer code, every last line is possibly structural. It also only takes a single missing = in the 1.2 million line codebase to kill.
Comparing it to school engineering is an oversimplification. You should be comparing it to verifying the structural integrity of every skyscraper ever built; for each project.

The complexity is still less than software though, and there are much better established standards of things that work together. Even if a screw is slightly wrong, it can still work. In software it's more like, every screw must have monocrystalline design, any grain boundary must be properly accounted for, and if not, that screw can take out an entire section of the building, possibly the whole thing, possibly the entire city.
