some dev work (e.g. enhancements, modernization) is
"tweak/refactor + copy-paste + tweak/refactor"
w/ varying amounts of "tweak" depending on the work
i.e. there's this thing that "works" already; they want a slight enhancement, or new look n feel
like a transplant

most attention/energy expectation is paid to the level of effort it takes just to do the "copy-paste" part
and dev teams have a hard time justifying that it takes more than just ctrl+c, ctrl+v
we all want to believe that the work is just two key strokes and a mouse drag

but in reality, that's not even really a third of the work involved
most of the effort is in the tweaks and refactorings
be aware (and beware) of these steps
mention each step, communicate these to the stakeholders
