back when i was developing software, we used to say "double it AND raise it to the next order of magnitude" before announcing any timeline.
the other running joke was: "the first 90% is the easy part. it's the last 90% that's hard".
the truth is that it is always better to under-promise and over-deliver, rather than the opposite.
