is there a keyword for "line by line going through a process and trying to evaluate which steps can be cut without damaging the outcome?" is there a science of this?

I don't think you can make a simple global explanation of that kind of dynamic system evolution; it might be better to look at case studies, eg Boeing:https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/11/how-boeing-lost-its-bearings/602188/ …

But also...why not? Why do you assume people have incentives to hire good project managers? Why do you assume that interview processes work if people do care? etc etc There isn't a competitive market in most places, and economics' assumptions are often invalid.

@alon_levy has a theory: https://pedestrianobservations.com/2020/03/16/who-do-you-learn-from/ … "Certain governance features that seem relevant to construction costs, like the privatization of state planning [to consultants]" "...nor do the managers have any social relationships with their peers abroad." -
I would add the hypothesis that planning-by-consultants is important because it breaks normal learning; it's a special case of "the cost of innovation". Development works by a design department making iterations, and getting feedback on manufacturability, usability, maintenance.
