The total time it takes to develop the solution sometimes, reduces the value of the app over the period of time.

For instance, enterprises before building any strategic rationales analyzes the POC (Proof of concept) of the solution, but if the same POC will take months to build, then how long the whole strategy implementation and app crafting will take.

Instead, if in this mean time, technology changes and consumer demand altered, then the built solution will be of no use.
