Discovering all interdependencies and details takes much more time than completing a significant amount of the tasks. So again, the diminishing returns of project planning/guessing/tracking vs completing the work.

Also task discovery amidst execution.

Good news! It can be an ongoing thing. Tag your issues, tasks, whatevers as you discover missing connections and reevaluate your plan on an ongoing basis. It's not a commitment, only fools commit to plans with incomplete information (and no plan has complete information, unless you can see the future).
