Particularly time. I recall a behind the scenes clip where the armorers state that they had something like two years of setup to make all of the gear for everyone for LOTR, and during that time Jackson and Co were refining the script.

For the Hobbit they had fit the same pre-filming prep into something like 6 Weeks because New Line forced them to.
