This seems to be so common. Almost every project seems to break or have issues at some point and the excuse is always the same: oh we didn't have time to do it properly. It makes me wonder if that is indeed always the case. This leads to a question... are there projects that are done in enough time so that they won't break?

I've made quite a few products that were ship-and-forget over the years. Every single time I had sufficient time to think about the architecture and focus on the simplicity of things.

But I agree this isn't the norm.
