Exactly. Hardware, software, anything really - there's probably an analog to this in most things. Personally, what I run up against most often aren't questions about fulfilling the initial requests, but the aftermath of someone focusing on specific details to the exclusion of the bigger picture. An organization spending a few million on software licenses, but nothing on staff / support being the most common example. I feel like people in tech are particularly prone to this for whatever reason. I'd wager a person will typically to sustain more criticism for a sub-optimal, but complete, functional implementation than a disjoint pile of fine-tuned components that doesn't add up to anything.
