Explanation

When the tolerance range is set too narrowly, even small, routine changes exceed the acceptable deviation threshold and trigger formal change control processes. As multiple minor changes accumulate, the program team's attention and resources are increasingly diverted from value delivery toward administering change requests. This administrative overload degrades execution quality-teams may rush work to meet scrutiny, defer quality activities, or make undocumented workarounds to avoid triggering the threshold. The net effect is a reduction in overall program quality, not simply a slowdown.
