A very significant parameter has been changed without giving teams proper, if any for those of uswithout practice bots, time to change their designs.

As an engineering student, I have gone through significant classes about design in regards to proper client and manufacturer relations, and how issues like this are handled in the real world. I assure you this is not of the norm, and that professional engineers would agree.
From a manufacturing perspective, sure. After 10 years in software, and especially my last 5 years in the cloud, I'm constantly building and working under Safe Harbor statements - I know things could change at any time and assume the risk in order to get access to cutting edge information and software.

I guess this stuff doesn't phase me anymore. The only constant is that FIRST changes their mind. If I can recommend anything, the best use of your limited resources is to adapt and move on.
