Temporary fixes become permanent problems when relief ends curiosity.

The moment relief arrives, curiosity stops. A patch that was meant to hold for a week holds for a year, because nothing hurts anymore and nothing forces the question. The temporary label falls off quietly, and eventually other things get built on top of the thing you never meant to keep.

When you put in a stopgap, write down what it is standing in for and when you will revisit it. That one sentence is often the difference between a bridge and a permanent structure nobody designed.
