Here's a good discussion of the old programmer adage "Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick any two". The comments are enlightening.
A few things that I realized reading that was that there are some definitions that make this a little tricky to discuss.
The first is that your axes need to grow in the correct direction. You can say you're increasing scope by pushing that apex away from the center, which makes the project more difficult, but you've then got to treat resources and time in the same manner, which means that extending the Time apex is not giving more time, but decreasing the time to deadline; similarly, extending the Resources apex means filling up more of your developer's capacity.
I'll need to ponder this a while - perhaps I'll come up with a better analogy, or at least better terms to use.
