Absolutely, it's impossible to know how much. But it's a lot easier to grasp that it's rarely just "changing a few lines" when it comes to these types of situations.

Specially since many programmers have encountered clients, managers, etc. who think it's that simple as well.

My favorite one is "Just add multiplayer".

Sure. I'll just go right ahead and toggle it in the engine. Why didn't I think of that?

lemme just bang out a complete rewrite of the game functionality over lunch

You did it twice, so I'll be the grammar police:

Especially = particularly

Specially = for a specific purpose
