While doing some research for an article[1] I read a paper[2] in which the main causes of underestimating are given as: 1. "Frequent requests for changes". 2. "Overlooked tasks". Agile methodologies are good at placing #1 front and centre. But importing that fusty old concept, the checklist, might help a lot with #2.
