What is so magically different about it? All other professions can do it.
And not just the other professions, our company is one of many software shops that sells projects. We need to be able to make good estimations to be profitable, and we are.
Maybe it's all the VC and BigCorp money that is stopping you.

We need to be able to make good estimations to be profitable, and we are. And all other professions regularly overrun costs and dates of delivery just like software. Let's stop acting like other engineers actually hit their deadlines regularly - just last year was there a news about a miraculous Swiss tunnel project which, as a very notable exception, actually hit its target deadline.
