Red tapes created by non-doers. They have no skin in the game, so they don't care about effects of their decisions on doers. In my org, they decide that everyone should use certain component. Sure it might be better component but they never actually used it, they just read about it, maybe vendor bought them a few expensive dinners. Now developers have to implement it. They come up with deadlines based on what vendor said. And devs have to reprioritize their projects, meet their deadlines while also working on features that customers or product managers want.

The worst is when two different non-doers come up with conflicting requirements and refuse to revise.
