Uhh, I see now, that there was a misunderstanding. It is the 
responsibility of every project leader to reserve cost and time 
buffers. She/he might use them for any purpose and even call that 
usage backtracking. But that is not the backtracking I was talking 
of.

I was talking about backtracking in the sense of requiring a bigger 
budget or more time than agreed on.

If a project leader plans buffers that are too large, the project 
will be taken by another leader or it dies. If the buffers are too 
tiny the leader failed---no backtracking possible.

But because the leader of the coding is not in the duty for the 
design there will be a vital interest to discover erroneous designs 
early.
