In practice, requirements are never adequate. If they were adequate, there would be no need for programmers, because someone would have already written a compiler that turned the requirements directly into machine code.
"Requirements" is a term for "writing down a statement of what should be done."
"Source code" is also a term for "writing down a statement of what should be done."
Of course, what "should" means, and who is supposed to do "what should be done", differs. That's the problem.
