engineering flaws
Built-in structural weaknesses
Engineering flaws are defects in design, construction, or implementation that cause systems to malfunction or fail.
The phrase implies problems that could have been avoided with better planning or execution: The bridge collapse was attributed to engineering flaws in the support structure.
Unlike manufacturing defects, engineering flaws originate in the design phase rather than production.
