Where does System Design end, and Project Management begin?

When you think about it — every system that's been engineered, no matter how well-designed, still depends on coordination, accountability, and sequencing to actually work.

That’s project management.

So is PM just a support function that organizes the work… or is it actually part of the system itself — the mechanism that turns design into operational flow?

Curious how others see it: where does system design end and project management begin?
