I know this may appear so but the signs are there. We only want this to be true so we do not see it.

I've been in a similar situation where all we were seeing was high pressure to deliver something. This made it appear that is because the project is important. But the underlying reason was that if we didn't, the project would be dropped. Which they did.

A project may be critical but even more so is to be in a certain time frame and budget, otherwise the project doesn't have a reason to exist any more. But until that moment is still very important because, at the very least because there was a lot of investment into it.
