Every single corporation over a certain size-threshold that employs technical staff has this to some degree. It's systematic. It's caused by people who don't have technical expertise having positions of authority in determining the production of those who do.
But yeah, in a free system where the mass of the population didn't have to labor to survive you probably wouldn't see this happen as much, because people would just refuse to work with those who don't familiarize themselves with the technical constraints when planning. Even in our current system a way to mitigate these risks is to make sure there are people in the decision-making process with actual ownership/authority who do have the technical-expertise.
