Power supply design always wrong

All my projects are usually breadboard prototyped.
I find that 9 times out of 10 however, something changes when it ends up in the final project.

Take this Aliens machine gun I made a while back. Fully prototyped it before, yet I had SO many issues once it was assembled. Works now however (I have so much crap in my garage!)
