I'd say it something trivial which has a lot of "and's or also's" in definition and strict timeline, so if you hear something like:

"we want to have emailing functionality which will also send text messages and keep track of all the emails in salesforce in 3 days." <-- that would be a clear sign to me that at least a week of refactoring should be allocated to detangle it.

That would happen because pretty much any engineer knows how to do it and tight timeline pushes engineer to cut corners
