If the problem is complex enough, six months may be a short deadline.

  Especially since it comes as a surprise, and there’s already an existing train on its way to the next station with its own timetable.

    that surprise could include "management says we don't have to do anything :/" <5.99 months pass>, management: "we have to patch this and it needs to be done yesterday."

      That would be extreme, but I can entirely imagine it taking many weeks for the true importance of this problem to correctly propagate across all management levels.
