Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

I went with my ears, looked for meaning and structure.

the costly requirements of X and Y by Z - seems fine.
the costly requirements by Z of X and Y - awkward.
the costly requirements for Y and X of Z - changes the meaning.
the costly Y and X that is required by Z - two things are mentioned and usage of 'is' is wrong here.
the costly X and Y that are required by Z - very clear in meaning.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
