@Aether Wikipedia has a different albeit congruent definition of jugaad:
"Jugaad or jugaar (Hindustani: जुगाड़ / جگاڑ jugāṛ) is a concept of non-conventional and frugal innovation on the Indian subcontinent. It also includes innovative fixes or simple workarounds, solutions that bend the rules, or resources that can be used in such a way. It is considered creative to make existing things work and create new things with meager resources."
I find this at least somewhat credible since I've been reading on and off the NTSC synopsis of their final report on the Baltimore harbor bridge collapse, when a pajeet crew smashed one of its supports.
One of the most fundamental problems was replacing a Diesel generator's fuel pump with one that was designed for removing fuel from a pipe for maintenance. One critical problem was if it lost and regained power, it didn't restart itself, it simply wasn't designed for such a critical purpose.
