The most expensive thing in a scheduling rollout is not the licence. It is the morning a planner decides the optimizer is wrong.
They cannot see why a job landed where it did, so they assume it is a mistake and move it. Fifty overrides a week and the efficiency gain you bought is gone inside a quarter. The plan was fine. Nobody could interrogate it.
What I have learned watching this happen is that showing the blocking constraint is not enough. What stops an override is showing what the alternative costs. A planner who can see that their preferred fix adds 40 minutes across the round makes a different decision.
Is planner override the quiet killer of optimization projects you see too?
