It’s the breaking down that is challenging, because the breaking down is the work. The correct breakdown is known when the project is completed. Until then, there are only approximate and probably wrong breakdowns.

Ever had a task with 4 seemingly “easy” parts where 3 are easy and it turns out 4 requires a big rewrite because of some hacked put in 8 years ago that are now deeply ingrained assumptions in the code?

Often you are asked to estimate a 10k part project!
