I have been writing my SOP for grad school and I'm looking for polite ways of saying "due to the lack of".



Currently, I have this sentence:




I analyse and solve system defects that occur in lieu of
well-thought-out specifications, poor design decisions, bad coding
practices or simply due to miscommunication




I am not sure if this is correct use of "in lieu of" and can be seen as somewhat critical of other's work.
Any help?
