Deadlines cannot be moved, these need to be re-scheduled

offer that to someone on his or her deathbed wanting to live:

from Wikipedia –

A deadline is a boundary where a person may cross only at the risk of death. Derived from prison systems, wherein if a prisoner escaped the deadline boundary he was to be shot down. An example of a prison deadline was used at Andersonville Prison Camp during the American Civil War

Gaiza: While the intent of the one line was in the context of the project work, but it fits in what you have mentioned. The point that I was conveying was that deadlines are not like physical things that can be moved, these have to be re-scheduled (for any change)

Jolvin: Yes I know. My response to Gaiza has the explanation.

threestrongcoffees:

Dealine can’t be moved, but we can give up and resign.

DSvT: That would be like chickening out. Instead, negotiation to reschedule a deadline is worth the effort.
