Some problems are made of timing. Crop breeding takes fifteen years while the climate shifts every decade. Medical devices last twenty years while their software support lasts five. Aid grants run three years while the water systems they fund must run twenty. Each process works as designed. The barrier is the gap between their speeds, and it reopens with every cycle however well anyone performs.
