Underestimating software engineering costs could result in management approving proposed systems that potentially exceed budget allocations, or underdeveloped functions with poor quality, or a failure to complete a project on time. Managing in the presence of uncertainty requires a Closed Loop Control process. Related articles.

Similarly, product lifecycle management (PLM) integrates people, data, processes and business systems.

The "bad management" is itself a symptom of untrained, inexperienced, unskilled decision making processes in the presence of uncertainty. . An Estimate is a value inferred for a population of values based on data collected from a sample of data from that population or generated from a model of the process being estimated.
