For me and dev work it's generally about misunderstanding the requirements.

They ask for X, I think X involves A, B and C, when actually it involves A, D, E, F, G and H.



Yep. And that’s on you and the product owner to get aligned on. Fix that alignment and you fix the problem.


Time needed to fix that alignment is impossible to estimate, and also impossible to prove you have done sufficiently.


Not to mention that often they ask for X while actually meaning Y.
