I see this on a daily basis. If you set a relaxed deadline, the work and pace expands to fill the time. It's better to be aggressive and move it when you miss, but you only have a few shots. You can't move it like 5 times or everyone just ignores the deadline.
This will get pushed back once or twice I think.

+1 to this.
Not to mention it's a super common strategy these days to make some aggressive deadline you're not sure you can keep just to spur people into thinking about the issue.
To affect change, you need someone to be the first to act like it's possible. This, imo, is that. |
The problem is having such aggressive timelines has consequences much worse than simply not meeting the goal. No one seems to consider that when they say "well, at least we're trying!!!"
