Well they’re doing it wrong then. Most TNG episodes were written by freelance writers, not by the show’s main writing staff. The freelance writers sold scripts to the show and the main writing staff would polish them up for production.
A freelance writer could spend years playing around with ideas before finishing a script to send in. The show didn’t care, they had plenty of other spec scripts to choose from.
