These %-figures should not dictate where you set your sliders. It's the other way around - the sliders should dictate where you add features. The %-figure you see shows only how much percentage of the features can be implemented due to the time allocated to that field.

Slider allocation is dictated by the genre. Depending on the genre certain areas are important (at least 40% time allocation) while others are unimportant (less than 20% time allocation). Not following this will get you penalized in game score (and therefore in review).

According to the success-guide, implementing a feature will yield you double design- and tech-points during that time. So the optimum is, to fill the whole time of an area with features, so you get double during the whole time. That would mean you want your %-figure to be 100%.

Adding more features (and therefore a dropping %-figure) doesn't net you any additional benefit, but costs more money.
