Des processus plus formalisés sont généralement mis en place/utilisés pour les gros projets où la probabilité d’écarts d’objectifs ou de modifications des exigences est plus beaucoup importante/grande


2eme version - un peu plus ironique ou critique peut être - car creep est plus "jargotique" (my invention?) que l'équivalent français:

Il est courant (pratique courante) d'utiliser/mettre en place des processus plus formalisés pour les très) gros projets où la tendance à s'écarter des objectifs premiers et à modifier les exigences initiales est la plus probable (et prononcée).

Mission creep
"...or scope creep; the tendency for a project to accumulate more and more required project goals as development proceeds, such as additional software features or sections of a website. Mission creep typically delays a project, runs it over budget, and may often produce a product that lacks direction and coherency. Causes may include inadequate requirements analysis at the outset of a project, spurious and indecisive participation by decision makers, and an inadequate understanding of the schedule and budget implications of a change."


Maybe what we need is a little heresy. Try this: scope creep is not only inevitable; it’s natural. As with other natural forces, when we resist it, it seems evil to us. It thwarts us, but scope creep is no more evil than gravity. Scope creep is the pejorative name we give to the natural process by which clients discover what they really want.

This puts our attempts at “requirements gathering” in a different light. Most project managers try their best to discover what clients want at the beginning of the project. They use meetings, questionnaires, personal interviews—and still, the most common experience for developers delivering a final product is customer dissatisfaction. It may come as a slap in the face—“this is no good”—or it may be couched in gentler terms—“you know what would be nice”—but the same message is being delivered: we aren’t giving clients what they want.

on peut parler aussi des \"dérapage(s)\" des objectifs qui rejoint la bonne idée de glissement proposée par sarahl - peut-être un peu plus \"caricatural\" comme creep
