What could be a consequence of failing to implement a requirement properly?

Failing to implement a requirement properly can lead to a penalty for non-compliance because regulatory or contractual obligations may not be met. When organizations are required to follow specific regulations, standards, or compliance requirements, the improper implementation of a requirement could result in legal repercussions, fines, or damage to the organization's reputation. Compliance is critical in many industries, and failure to adhere to these requirements can have serious financial and operational consequences.

In contrast, enhanced customer satisfaction is generally a result of successfully meeting requirements, while the creation of additional features might occur as an attempt to compensate for a poorly implemented requirement rather than a direct consequence. Increased project scope could happen as a result of project adjustments but doesn’t directly correlate with the lack of proper implementation of existing requirements like non-compliance does.
