I just did the same thing for a couple of manufacturing buildings, including the business offices for both, and if you're going to be stuck in the same room I would suggest covering one wall completly with plywood and use it to mount your phone system, data / phone circuits, phone blocks, etc. Also, have all of your cabling attached to that wall using D brackets. Make sure you "map" it out on paper before you start mounting things. And for God's sake, make sure everything is ran clean and tidy. Don't forget to tag all of your cables.
While it would of course be nice to have software without errors, the problem then becomes price and time to market. There is a saying in the project management world, "Speed, Price, and Quality. Pick two of the three." I've found this saying to be pretty accurate.
As consumers we tend to want everything now, and cheaply. This would obviously push down the quality of the product. Being an impulse buyer myself I find most products pretty much suck these days because manufacturers (of software or hardware) know that we want everything now and cheap, so they don't focus on quality at all, just time to market. I'm of course exagerating a bit, but it does seem consumerism kills quality.

That's assuming C (lower case c, actually, which is the speed of light) is constant, which we now know it is not.
