RFP timelines are often driven by budget cycles and executive pressure, not delivery reality. Dates are set before complexity is understood, and teams are expected to “make it work.” This creates early compromises that resurface later as delays. Realistic timelines are uncomfortable because they challenge expectations. But unrealistic ones don’t disappear — they move into the delivery phase, where the cost of correction is much higher.
