Maybe "studies" such as this can be used as leverage for more time in the "design" phase of things? Design phase could arguably encapsulate choices related to tooling, appropriate staffing decisions, etc.
Knowing the rough costs of rework and bug hunting, I would hope that "studies", like the above, are taken to add more weight to the activities in software engineering, not just the programming/coding aspects.
