Nothing drastic, though maybe philosophical ... but to me, blaming the build is a little like saying "we had trouble understanding the Java Language",
Or maybe "we had trouble learning how to use GEF". Or maybe, "my car broke down on the way to work".

In other words, doing builds (like using Java, or getting to work) is just a normal part of what we do, and what we are responsible for.

So, the _real_ reason in all these cases might be better stated as "we didn't plan correctly", or "we did not have a contingency plan",

That's all I meant.

But, sounds like you _do_ have  contingency plan! That's great!
