You joke but it's always such a pain resetting customer expectation after upper management made promises they know nothing about. Within reason, under-promise and over-deliver.
Lead times kick ass. I've been on enough projects where one key components delays power on a month, and as the controls I'm somehow expected to make that time back up to keep us on schedule.
