1. Scope Creep: The more architects and designers scrutinize their designs, the more likely they are to add additional details and features, which can lead to scope creep, where the project becomes too complex and difficult to realize.
2. Lack of Consistency: Continuous improvement may lead to inconsistency in the design, especially if there is not a clear vision or plan guiding the process.
3. Inefficiency: The continuous improvement process can become time-consuming and costly, with architects constantly revisiting and refining their work, rather than moving forward towards implementation.
4. Stakeholder Confusion: Too much focus on architectural clarity and improvement can cause confusion among stakeholders who may become overwhelmed with the constant changes and updates.
5. Misalignment with Client Expectations: Over-focusing on architectural clarity may cause architects to prioritize their own preferences over the needs and expectations of the client, resulting in a finished product that is not what the client envisioned.
6. Lack of Innovation: Focusing on perfection and clarity may discourage architects from taking risks and experimenting with innovative or unconventional designs.
