re: Nice one Dado > scope-creep, got some more?

While not casting any aspersions on the terms you suggest below, I want to
point out the "scope creep" is not something I made up. It's an industry
standard term in the Project Management arena. "scope creep" returned over
15000 hits in Google covering sites that talk about the causes, the
prevention, the dealing with, and in some cases, the inevitability of it.

Projects very often fail or cost more money or take more time, simply
because of scope creep.
