It's also a code word for bad project management. Iterative and incremental are standard practices from software development of large construction (Lean Construction). Yes, you have to pay for them, but that cost is cheap compared to a naive and novice approach based on experimenting with other people's money.

The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ‒ Steve McConnell. Software quality measurement,” Magne Jørgensen, Advances in Engineering Software 30 (1999) 907–912.
