What about concepts such as – insufficient time put into planning and understanding what was desired and thereby eliminating the need for changes after the fact and the discovery that the market pricing is in fact different? It is very easy to take a program and say it WILL take 3 days and then complain when it ACTUALLY takes 5 days to complete because that is the amount of time it takes to be thoughtful and thorough.

Technology is an awesome tool and yes does make flow of paper and ideas easier and more efficient, but as it is usually just used to speed of the transmission of “half-baked” ideas in order to achieve an arbitrary date on a schedule, I feel purporting it as the solution to over-budget and late projects is a bit of a simplification.
