I think this is intentional hyperbole. It's obviously a simplification of reality. In this world of super-specialization, constructing a large building is a LOT more like rocket science than many other things. Hundreds, sometimes thousands of individuals are involved in the minutia of every single decision and task that contributes to the critical path of a building's eventually existence.

And, as we hopefully all realize, the architecture firm isn't the one doing the building 99% of the time.
