Yes. Having the work awarded but waiting for “final approval” on your estimate and next thing you know it’s March 2019.

Contract negotiations falling apart...or they decide to award it to two agencies and not one (and you’ll totally collaborate and work together and share concepts right???), or the best new one: winning the shitty parts they can’t in-house.

(Sorry rough week)
