Correct me if I'm wrong but: It seems the original system was put together the way it was, because of the "customer's" decision on such a small budget.
You are correct that the system was put together the way it was in order to fit the budget. However, I think I should have refused to sell it and insisted that we either cut scope or increase budget.
For example, I speced a Denon DRA397 as a critical piece in the audio routing. It's a cheap unit with IR only control. Nothing but trouble. The client trusted my judgement, but I don't think I should have allowed this into the project as a key component under any circumstances.
