My experience tends to be just the opposite. You tend to get a good schedule from engineering as they often take their best estimate and multiply it by 1.5 or 2. This gives a cushion for delays and oppsies. Project managers and marketing, now that is another level. They tend to never want to leave a cushion, expecting beyond all past experience that things will go -perfectly- "this" time. -
