From the EC side I see engineers leaving more and more out of the prints.

The last contract job I was involved with the customer got so fed up with us, the plumbers and the mechanical contractors turning in a pile of extras they got another engineering firm to go over the prints.

The determination was made that the contractors where justified in the extras as the original drawings where missing so many items.

We still work for that customer, the original engineers do not.

I am not saying ECs are always perfect but it works both ways.
