That's because we hate people. 😆
In my situation, it's more related to building renovations that happen on a fairly regular basis, say a few rooms per year, and all of the infrastructure, designed and budget are determined before we catch wind of the project from hearsay and have to contact the project manager to ask them if we need to be involved for any IT specs/installations of equipment.
This usually ends up putting the project behind by a few weeks when they have been planning things months prior.
