There was never enough time to do it right from the beginning for the customer, but there was always time enough to spend hours on end fixing it or redoing it.
But you normally can't say to a customer of yours that bad planning on his part does not translate in emergency on your part...
Nope, I've used that on many occassions in the past with users, customers, and managers, but it has never stopped them from doing it again and again. A lot of management just tends to work in firehose mode nowadays, and I have even seen owners of companies that actually endorse and encourage it too. Like I have said many times before. unless true change is embraced from the top down, it never ever works in the long run.:-D
