I've never like the following expression.

"If you don't have enough time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"

It always seemed to me that an answer of "later" is potentially completely valid.

The idea is to not always say "we'll do it later". "Later" works fine as long as the various decision-makers involved can be talked into doing it later. If their answer is always "if it works, don't touch it," then they are the target audience for that old saw.

Well here's another expression I like "Nothing is ever more permanent than a temporary fix."
