Any tips on effectively making non data background colleagues and client understand that data engineering takes time? No matter many time I expressed that my team needs X days to do certain things, people keep asking whether they can get something in 1/10 of X days. The same bunch of people don't actually do that for other types of work, only data engineering, which seems really strange to me.

I am currently working for a city and have been with my current position for about a year. Work-life balance and colleagues are great. I came from private practice prior to my current position.
