Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter suggested that a while ago.
Doesn't fit your clue though, he is right.
You have the 3rd and 5th characters the same, should be the 2nd and 5th.
Other than that, is is an excellent Pac-man.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Oops - I've corrected it (too little too late)
That's what comes from rushing things - I got the characters a while ago but just put them together a second before I posted!
Still - fortunately it was all too obvious!

Objection!!!
You have to do it tomorrow - and this time properly...(mixed the letter positions)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Related to the below.
You cannot eliminate risk.
Doing something that carries risk is OK.
You need to know what the risk is.
You need to know what to do should something go wrong.
At some point you just have to bloody well do something.
Some places spend so much time and money trying to manage / eliminate risk that they end up either moving so slowly as to retard themselves or do nothing at all.
They spend so much time of so many people trying to ensure nothing will go wrong that the cost of ensuring nothing goes wrong far outweighs the cost of something going wrong.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I always like the A Team quote about the best plans are those that can be changed. (At least I thinks its the A Team....)
Anyway, means you bring the risk to the front of the process, and go ahead with what you know with the proviso that things can change as new data comes in.
That's the best way to attack any project, be it building a bridge or a chunk of code.

Even if you are not in the A team, you should know that the first victim after contact with the enemy always is the plan. Strategists go sit on that hill over there and watch if you like, tacticians take over!

...and then the Accountants decide it's too expensive to do because it has cost so much to get to the point where you decide you can do it, the project itself will clearly take forever.

NASA has a lot of resources, and they test more than the average company. Even they blow up a rocket by accident.

That may have something to do with having everything built by the lowest bidder!

..yes, the argument against work paid for by the government. NASA proves the opposite; fact that not every rocket explodes shows that they not just select the cheapest.

this is Murphy's Law. If everything is flawless, you can't advence. Perhaps our life is created by a bad mistake like mutation.
Every irregularity creates own regularity.

Some project management frameworks recommend that Tasks with the highest risk be performed as early as possible in the project.
In other words, if you are going to fail, fail early before it costs too much.
You can then decide whether to kill the project, or find an alternate way of accomplishing the task that failed before you've invested a lot of work into the bad path.

All very well to argue about risk management and apparently timid actions, but when it involves peoples' jobs and the consequences of a bad decision is personally telling 20 people they are being laid off indefinitely your perspective may change. And if you happen to be one of those 20 people called into the conference room on a Monday morning that risky management decision suddenly isn't bold but utterly stupid.
The civil engineer who designed the Tacoma Narrows bridge knew about wind loading but took the risk it wouldn't matter. The calculations were Engineering 101, very basic but he didn't bother. The classic pictures of the bridge tearing itself apart illustrates how bold and daring he was. Would you drive over one of his bridges on the way to work every day, knowing he didn't bother to make sure nothing would go wrong?
