It is also challenging, and people, especially engineers like, and often respond to, challenges. There are alternatives to NTPD, although some are more complex; maybe management knows what they are doing. I would ask one of them if they have any suggestions as to how their accuracy requirements can be achieved before denigrating them. Management often has enormous research resources they don't talk about unless asked. Some people have made huge contributions to their organization and careers just by taking a hike over to the research department and asking the people there if they have any suggestions for realizing their project's goals.
