I think of this when managers come up with different requirements during the project. If the requirements seem to make the product better, I'm all for it. I like to work this way and they pat me on the head for being "agile". But I always end up kicking myself when they ask why the project is taking longer. I fall for it almost every time because I like to tinker.

One of these days when I’m feeling salty I’m going to make a wiki page called “why is it taking so long” and list every feature that drew out the schedule. Hopefully it’ll be seen as helpful, but probably not.
