I completely agree that design should be iterative (but then I'm a
developer, not a designer).  I'm happy to develop half-arsed stuff and
get it deployed as quickly as possible, in order to learn and iterate
on a 'working' code base.  I've certainly met designers that don't
like this approach: everything has to be 'just right' before
releasing.  I'm afraid I can't offer any advice as to how to solve it.
