This is a different level of unpredictability that effects modernity in a different way than being able to project extremities and design or decide based on them.
It’s bad enough to say a region will see more drought and extreme rain and anticipate the range of that change and what needs to be done. If we can’t model the trajectory of climate correctly we can’t do that either. This is flying blind.

It means projects like dams, energy plants, canals, farms, cities, industry, ports, transport (especially river) and perhaps wind farms are (may be) undertaken with no real idea of what conditions they will operate in over their expected life.
Same for the maintenance of what exists. End of life structures and even new ones, who knows if they are adequately designed or will last according to feasibility.
