 I'd encourage you to become involved during the specification phase. As the
technical writer for the project, you likely have a lot to offer in terms of
usability of the product.

On several projects, I've worked exactly that way. I even helped write the
spec. It's a great opportunity to make a difference on the project as well a
great opportunity to really "bond" with the developers and become a real
part of the team.
