What are the biggest engineering mistakes when reacting to obsolescence under time pressure?

The answer

When time is running out and millions are on the line, the biggest engineering risk isn’t delay, it’s counterfeit components.

Under pressure, teams scramble to source parts fast. Even companies with strict quality standards can be tempted to step outside authorized channels.

But that’s where the danger rises. Non-franchised sourcing significantly increases the risk of counterfeits, putting your entire project at risk.

Speed matters. But quality and traceability matter more.
