In regards to real-life situation where you are forced to replan your design...
This is certainly true for a software engineer, but is it true for a mechanical engineer? From what I've heard ME tend to design as simple as possible which means to avoid creating something that is expandable (e.g. modular) to be something else. This question is one I've been in conflict struggling with to understand... is it common for ME to have to change designs late in the design phase? or even during implementation?
