Completely agree with this assessment. The way software is completed is pretty crazy today, little time for research and development and a lack of focus on quality, but focused on short term changes that cost long term technical debt. Estimation is hard and project plans are only ever about 60-70% right. There is a big problem with not allowing sliding dates as well. When software is completed one day early that is a pile of crap it is lauded short term and painful longer term submerged in technical debt, then when more time is taken up front for quality it is short term pain for long term gain later on the maintenance phase. The problem is the latter is hard to do with development schedules not set by developers. Note: I accidentally hit downvote as my mouse glitched and wish I could reset that.
