"Wicked problem" is a phrase originally used in social planning to describe a problem that is
difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements
that are often difficult to recognize. The term wicked is used, not in the sense of evil, but rather its resistant to resolution.[1] Moreover, because of complex interdependencies, the effort to solve one aspect of a wicked problem may reveal or create other problems.
