I have always encountered so much resistance to any suggestion of slowing down. It might even be the MOST resistance. Stop. Take a breath. If you write the Epic or the Story following a proper format, it will reward you down the road. It is the old chestnut, "measure twice, cut once." Taking the time to write good stories will most likely shine a light on those areas the Product Owner or the stakeholders did not anticipate.

Measure twice, cut once is exactly what I'm thinking in these situations!
