Peel the onion
To slowly reveal layers of complexity while pretending this was the plan all along, not just poor initial planning.
Examples
Examples:
- "We need to peel the onion on this customer complaint."
- "The investigation revealed more layers as we peeled the onion."
- "Peeling the onion just means we didn't plan properly from the start."
