Captain I’m responding to your post re project management etc. here since I think SoJo is responding to the same here.

Yes project managers will often pad task estimates by a percentage or other “safety” margin factor, especially when not under extreme time pressures. Sometimes due to time/political pressures I’ve seen timelines given with optimistic task estimates under assumptions/caveats that provide CYA and revision of the project timeline.

The end of May or thereabouts provides a 50% margin nonissue-June.

Then to Sojos point, the CRO is likely providing the task estimate and while management applies their take on the timeline between the “thereabouts” and the soft data lock mitigation of longer delay in getting to DL, I think management feels they are being responsible and you sound like you have project management knowledge and I’m guessing you’ve seen projects that slip since a significant fraction of them do.

Long winded post but it boils down to giving them the benefit of doubt and don’t forget they are lawyers, not engineers as a lot of us are.
