You just have you hire managers that understand the roles they manage. Development managers should have a good idea how long things should take, what the pitfalls are likely to be, and who to pair up when needed to get things back on track. In ops, they need to understand incident response, on-call stress, triage, and operational vs project workflows. I imagine that physical engineering is similar in that they should understand enough to spot check the work, and know when someone is bullshitting a timeline. TLDR: teach engineers to manage instead of hiring MBAs who think the only way to optimize cost is to cut expenses.
