Absolutely. Not saying speed is never an important metric, but virtually all complicated engineering and construction projects are difficult to schedule and exceed their time budgets. If the end result is worth it those birthing pains are quickly forgotten. But a poor output will never be forgotten.

- markbnj 7y ago> they take as long as they take Sure, agreed, which is not to say that time budgets don't exist, and aren't exceeded :).
