It strikes me that the issue is, to some degree, rooted in the transfer of the vision from one person to another. I have struggled with this as well, on the side of the 'visionary' rather than the developers.

A quick search for 'how to communicate what you want with software developers' turned up what I expect is at least modestly helpful: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/224816 (2012) but I'd venture that the topic really is worthy of much more in depth treatment.

A key element missing at least from that post is: How to confirm that the developer does understand what the vision is? If that can be confirmed, they would then be in a position to modulate the vision vs. reality, and, even contribute some of their own creativity. I suspect that this modulation frequently occurs with a start from misunderstanding. The divergence can be dramatic.
