Acceptance criteria often don't exist or are wrong. Incidentally, when someone says "business requirements are easy", that's a pretty big tell they have never worked on a complicated project.

Even an 'easy' project, it's not easy. Edge cases, security, performance, dealing with error conditions, dealing with bad external vendor/data. "We'll just import data from vendor X". Yeah, that can never go wrong!
