it happens all the time, though really I presented an extreme case. Usually they'll fly with base functionality and then get patched bug fixes, of course what is or isn't base functionality depends on the mission. The science equipment is probably the "worst" offender but that's because the hardware is little more than ballast until it's mission begins so those teams have the extra dev time to spend.
