Make it more real world and change it a week in. Real world experience is like that - suddenly someone else can do it cheaper, lighter and better, and the requirements on the engineering team change and have to be met.

Imagine if FIRST update number three said "Due to a new customer requirement, the maximum weight is now 122.5 pounds." That would create utter chaos!

PS - If this really happens, I must remember to delete this post.....
