The project went several months over the proposed "schedule", which was inevitable, and I had told them as much. The team was not asked to pull any overtime to complete it in the proposed time frame. I took a 6 month sabbatical and then was asked to contract for them remotely as a developer (instead of manager) which I did for several years after that. So, wins all around, I suppose.
