Then maybe it's just that you aren't specific enough?
You aren't just researching, so tell them what you did, what you are doing and what you plan to do instead.
I had to implement SAML quickly on our software once. It's a subject that needs quite a bit of research and ideally not much implementation. So here a timeline of what I would have said if you asked me an update regularly (which is probably quite close to what happened because we needed that for a demo pretty quickly and they asked me quite a bit of update):
T + 5m: I'm still trying to figure out what is SAML.
T + 1h: I found what is SAML, but I am trying to understand how it works technically.
T + 2h: I'm looking for libraries to help me implements it because it's too complex to implements in house and not worth it
T + 4h: I found libraries, but I lost a few hours because it needs to be implemented as a login-module, not a library.
T + 5h: I've found one that has potential but our version of J2EE is too outdated and it may not works. I'll need to experiment with it.
At this point I gave 5 updates, I just did research, but never I said the word research. Each time what I said was justified and it doesn't sound unreasonable.
