In such case I would recommend to under promise and over deliver. Your estimate conveys that it's risky selling it as a 3 months project and risk free as 6 months. It's in your best interest to sell it as 6 months and have a chance to complete it in 3. You could bargain 5 months by taking few risk. Nonetheless a good manager should have understood your estimation range and act accordingly.
