Planning: Where 'Soon' Means 'Maybe Never'

I was chatting with some colleagues about how project timelines could really be a comedy show; you think you’ve got everything aligned, then suddenly you’re waiting on permits that seem to take an eternity. It’s like juggling planning and reality while the clock keeps ticking! Anyone else have a funny story about a project that went off the rails because of scheduling nightmares?

”clock keeps ticking!” — I can totally relate. Last month, we thought we were close to finalizing designs, but then we got hit with a request for an unplanned environmental review that added weeks. Next time, I’m building in some buffer time for these surprises.
