I was really upset at this comment at first. After thinking about it some more I like that it questions fundamental assumptions about the original question namely, “What happens if the deadline slips?” If the project is late, does the company go out of business? Do people get fired? Is the overall deliverable unusable within the org? Is the deal lost? If the answer to these is a big “no” then totally agreed with OP to not sound an alarm. However configuring a skilled team and leading it to do excellent work and constantly improve should be something most people strive for.
