Errors scale faster by size. Small projects are more often on-time and if late, they are late by smaller amounts compared to larger projects. Think about trip length, compare going to the corner store to going to another continent.
Neuroimaging projects are inherently larger than cognitive psychology projects. Neuroimaging requires more technology, more data, more statistics, and more team members than cognitive psychology. That increased size increases the chances of a project being delayed, possibly in non-linear ways.
It behooves someone to be a varsity-level project manager in cognitive psychology before moving into neuroimaging. "Jumping levels" is a good way to stop moving.
