I think the larger problem that is touched on a little here is getting your team to buy into your vision. When the team becomes disinterested or uninspired in the long-term product, all the little problems start becoming big problems. Words like "can't", "useless", "pointless", "too hard", etc start becoming more common place. It tends to also be the point where people start clocking in and out for their paycheck instead of their passion.
