Budget Overruns: Exceeding the allocated budget or spending more resources than planned without corresponding progress in the project’s deliverables is a clear indication of being off-track financially.

Scope Creep: If the project scope expands beyond its original boundaries without proper documentation and approval, it can lead to delays and resource overruns.

Magento 2.x or Adobe Commerce Architecture explain here very simple way as below.

Step [1] – Presentation Layer::

Virtual Type & Type of DI.xml :: The di. xml supports two types of nodes which are a node type and a node virtualtype

 Virtual Type & Type of DI.xml:: Virtual Type is considered as a perfect method instead of the type . Virtual types are similar to the types but provides additional flexibility as they allow defining a virtual class.

Type adjusts existing classes, whereas Virtual Types creates a new class. 

Virtual Types allows us to modify existing classes without affecting the other classes and without having to create a new class file(it isn’t necessary but if we want then we can create it as well)

virtual Type accepts two attributes – name and type . Name is the virtual Type’s name and type is an existing class we use to create the virtual Type

Difference Between Virtual Type & Type of DI.xml::

Virtual Types are like a sub-class for an existing class

Type adjusts existing classes, whereas Virtual Types creates a new class.

Type affect all the instances, whereas Virtual Type is equivalent of a sub class,

Dependency Inversion Principle:: DIP using abstraction layer in code to reduce code dependencies.

As per DIP the way of designing a class structure is to start from high level Classes to Low Level Classes

This means that your high level classes or modules should use the interfaces of low level classes or modules instead of working with them directly, it is Standard coding structure as per SDLC

High level classes or modules should should not use direct level classes or modules directly, it is bad coding structure
