I’m trying an experiment in my new role where I deliberately avoid these types of projects.

They usually don’t deliver on time and are too stressful to work with. It’s not worth it both personally and from a career perspective.

However if they manage to deliver a complex design on time, I’ll have lost a great career opportunity. It’s a gamble either way, but high complexity both in organization and design, usually yields a high failure rate on just about every metric I can think of except the metric of “I’m going to use this complex design to get another job and bail myself out of the dumpster fire I’m creating before I have to deliver anything of value”.

What is your avoidance mechanism if you don't mind me asking?

Figure how to support it without being involved in actual deliverables. Or transfer to a new team/project. Or both.
