Totally agree, and I think your example is a good one at demonstrating the importance of communicating an estimate across a range so that stakeholders aren’t caught off guard when something blows up, and also of distinguishing between the estimate and a commitment. The process for what happens when something does blow up (we both know something will) is a good thing to establish, and as you say, re-communicate instead of trying to sneak in a fix.
