A better term might be "technical mass". Having lots of it makes it harder to quickly implement changes and features.

It would also better cover the fact that work must be done to get rid of the excess mass. Calling it debt might undersell how easy it is to get rid of it.

Though if business folks didn't take physics classes it might not resonate well with them.

I like that. More mass slows everything down and makes changing direction harder.

Technical calories then?
