When the study for which you're producing software is only going to conclude in the next 18 months or so, you get to allocate some time for fixes.

I'm currently in the process of clearing tech debt that ultimately lead to hard to resolve bugs and, ahem, staff rotation.
I can spend days on this so long as I report progress on a daily basis.
