In the version of TDD I've been exposed to, you only write the minimum number of tests to cover your next feature. It's still iterative.

I do more TDD on exploratory work than something fully formed because I can work in a narrow scope without having to grasp the whole project.

If you only know what the feature is, you're prepared to write functional and/or integration tests, but not unit tests. Unit tests closely wrap the details of the implementation.
