Minutiae is a plural word, the singular is minutia. It is most often used in the plural. It refers to small, picky or minor details. These details are not necessarily completely unimportant; they may just be details that are not relevant to the current discussion or level of planning. The implication often is that these are details that can always be worked out later, and are not an obstacle to the project.
