Such a huge number of resources are devoted to a project it actually derails or delays the project.

## Narrative example 1
|
|
Tom agrees to help Jerry change some light bulbs this weekend.
|
|
|
|
Tom shows up with a van full of tools, several step ladders, safety equipment, and three helpers. Getting the situation under control and dividing the work takes longer than if Jerry had just done the work himself.

## Narrative example 2
|
|
Tom and Jerry plan a Super Bowl party and invite a few friends.
|
|
|
|
For some reason, Tom *needs* this to be the ultimate Super Bowl party. He orders tons of decorations, new furniture, a bigger TV and sound system, and while he's at it he hires a catering company. Getting everything set up takes so much time and resources none of it's even ready by the time of the Super Bowl. |
