No no, sorry for the confusion. What I meant is that there's going to be an expertise level that will need to be built up for each part. So when you have a team that has a very crappy designing department, hiring a new superb designer won't mean that you will have a chance to get a superb chassis straight away which is technically possible if all goes well. This is very unrealistic, and it always takes some time to improve the parts (when Newey joined Red Bull they didn't have a race winning car for some time). Therefore I will introduce this probably next season.

I already gave away more details than I wanted to, but well, there you have it :) I will announce it in a news item this week as well with slightly more details once the tutorial has been finished.

I'm a little more confused now Frank!

For clarity, I'm new, my team isn't. Which is why I was surprised when the parts developed instantly.

My assumption as to why that happened was because I tried to finetune parts that hadn't been tested yet. Is this correct?

That's very strange. I double checked the code and it's definitely linked to the team and not the manager.
Did your parts say "Finished [95-100%]" straight away after developing them?

long shot I know but were there parts already under development by the previous manager that somehow have been mistaken for new parts?

That's correct Frank.

They weren't developed under the old manager, when I took control of the team I started development on S3 parts, nothing had been developed for next season when I acquired the team.
