I've had the same experience that you have described with designers in the Philippines. Lots of corrections and rework are often needed.

The best rationale I find for outsourcing is that it allows work to be performed around the clock--i.e. we would be stuck in meetings during the day, while the offshore staff does the programming work while we sleep. However, when you factor in the amount of rework and corrections, and the time you spend going back and forth over this, it would make more sense to do the work here instead of offshore.
