Very interesting idea, the inside-outside contrast. Is this connected in any way to the fact that outside consultants are often better a spotting problems than those inside the company?

Is this true in general? Is there really no difference between time taken on an optimistic schedule and a realistic one? I’ve found that projects with long dealines tend to “slip” a bit, no matter how long the deadline is.
