There's been a number of times I’ve worked on a project where this has happened, usually for the same reasons: Time and money. It would take way too much time away from other projects and cost too much in man hours compared to the gain.
It's a crappy way of working yes, but most project planners are going to work to the quickest short-term gains. While I have no doubt the designers (I know a couple there) would have asked and planned for a full rework, ultimately the project managers would get that down to 'how much time just to reskin', probably adding 'we'll come back and rework it once xxx projects are complete'.Unless there is a major change in thinking within businesses we're almost always going to see projects cut down so they are optimised for short term gains, even if in the long run that makes things take longer. It's shit, but that's the way it is.
