In some cases the problem is running out of money while perfecting a design
versus fielding a design that runs but is immature with respect to the
problem domain, and complicated by dynamic evolution of the problem domain
itself (new players in new locales with slightly but significantly different
requirements).   

Toss in an old bad-fit-standard or two and a marketing organization trolling
for new opportunities in different domains thus consuming resources needed
to complete existing work and it is the world as we know it.

I can't really see why there is much other discussion:
SME's are going to understand the problem domain, system designers
and architects are going to have to translate this into a design into
something that meets the logical and physical requirements of the
application.
