re: Why did it take TAF so long to get the architecture right?

Tray Trahan is a POS who has to do the worst archetectural work I've ever scene. Everything is form over function. You site the softball stadium as great work where it faces East yet has a grand stand that acts more like a giant sail than an overhang. It doesn't protect people from rain or sun so why does it exist?

Many of his designs are absolutely fraught with design flaws that don't work. Sinks that don't drain, doors that slide off of their hinges, roof concepts that leak, concrete that corrodes in moist environments, breezeways that cause water to flow under them and rain on the people walking underneath. It is purely form over function with a complete lack of practicality in design that is nearly impossible in execution.

The reason he wasn't picked for the SEZ expansion is because of how many disasters occurred during the west side expansion. Do you know why there are bars over the glass? It's because the glue he ordered be used to secure the windows without using any other mechanical bonding method loses it's strength when heated. So the windows started falling off and plummeting 200 ft down and landing where people walk into the stadium. After they "fixed" the problem, they left the bars up just in case. Also, the project ended up waay over budget and over time.
