There's never enough time....

to do it right the first time.

But all the time in the world to get it right the second time.

That's where you're mistaken. It did/was done as designed the first time. The second time is to figure out how to repair the damage.

Was given the adage today by a colleague.

There's always a huge rush to git'er done...then a concentrated, step wise effort to do it correctly when the first doesn't work.

In my industry it's redesign it 10 ten times but don't give the contractor any more time to complete the project.

Well there's deadlines to meet Tempest.

Reminds me of a dilbert cartoon where his boss drew a Gannt chart. "I've assumed that any process that I don't understand tiakes an infinitely short amount of time to complete...and your dealing is..."

The worst threat to a good plan is the search for a better plan.

I'll pay that.

At the shop, I always dreaded 'comebacks'.
My first fix there many years ago resulted in a comeback, and never since. This results in a different approach, a different mental mind set.
As s side note, if a customer says "I'm going to sell it, just get it fixed as cheaply as possible.", you can be sure the car will be owned/showing up for at least 2 years or more.

What I often wish I could do over again are things I say. Better ideas and phrasing often comes afterwards.
