Doctors, like auto mechanics, repeat the same tasks over and over and have a pretty good idea what something will cost. Like with automobiles, there are sometimes surprises, and those can require a new estimate to be signed off on.

Software development is inherently nonrepetitive and therefore unpredictable.

Healthcare is much closer to auto repair than software development.
