> risk the flow of the whole project

Agreed. What I mean by "perfect" is: for a given part/component/decision/etc, take the time (an always-limited resource) to learn as much as possible and contemplate more than just the seemingly obvious path forward. Take security for example. I'd rather 'waste time' now making sure I'm covering any gaps in that realm before shipping.

OTOH maybe some jacked-up abstraction/incorrect tool choice/ugly-ui/etc is something that can wait a few sprints or longer. At least you can plan when to deal with these. Security breaches tend to plan your day for itself on your behalf. :)
