Absolutely. Not saying speed is never an important metric, but virtually all complicated engineering and construction projects are difficult to schedule and exceed their time budgets. If the end result is worth it those birthing pains are quickly forgotten. But a poor output will never be forgotten.
Things do not exceed their time budgets, they take as long as they take. Time budgets are incorrectly predicted to be shorter so that, in advance, they appeal to profit oriented motivations.
> they take as long as they take
Sure, agreed, which is not to say that time budgets don't exist, and aren't exceeded :).
