I understand, but… is a polite way to show partial disagreement. This phrase acknowledges the other person's point before introducing a different perspective. For example:
I understand, but we don't have enough time to implement this feature. - The speaker agrees but points out a time constraint.
I understand, but the current design is more user-friendly. - The speaker sees the other perspective but believes the current design is better.
