depends on your project and its complexity.

perhaps one way to improve the approach is instead of thinking about your design and if it's perfect, encourage thought along the lines of "how do we build this so we can change how it works later?"

things always change. there is no perfect spec or style on day 1. the best code is always written during refactoring, so design to make that part easy and while your idea is new and not launched optimize to get it launched.
