IMO, this particular division of labor (design/specification) introduces a rather unacceptable level of friction.
It is a feature, not a bug, that when the design and specification work is being done by the same person, the designs tend to be ones that are relatively straightforward to specify. It makes it a conscious choice to budget more specification effort towards elments that are more important to the designer.
