"Well, do not blame them too quickly. What else would you do if you
have to have the thing up and running 2 days from now? (that is
what the schedule says). If you don't get it out of the door by
thursday, someone else will and you'll lose some sale.

No time to do much design is the most common answer to the question
of why there is no or little design done befor jumping to coding."

If you have so little time, it is even more important than usual not
to jump into the coding, since you will have no time to correct errors.
It takes discipline, but it is ALWAYS a good idea to design carefully
before coding, ESPECIALLY when time is very tight.
