Here's something. First and foremost, all they had to do (if they haven't already) was to 'borrow' the models from the other races and mildly tweak them, saving them from having to make completely new models from scratch and thus saving themselves time/money. That being said, everything, I wouldn't say was completely planned out, I mean for goodness's sake, they told us, out the gate, that most of the headgear (at least at the time of them reporting it) wouldn't even be wearable for the veira/hrothgar, due to their unique heads, but we're talking about TWO races that effectively cannot wear something everyone else has taken for granted. If that isn't some kind of flub or a sign of some rushed decision making, I don't know what else is.

Not to mention Yoshi and his team have gone on record, shooting down the option to go back and 'improve' the older races (I'm looking at you Male Roes/Hyur's with no eyebrows) by stating at a FF QnA, and I quote "If we changed them, then the people who liked them wouldn't like them anymore." Which.. to me, is so flimsy.. and just a little smug sounding. Especially if you see the numbers of people across the board who play those 'unpopular' races. It's so baffling to me.
