Blergh. Because someone wants a neutral-faced, orderly process to send you up the creek? If you respect them a bunch, tell them they're asking for something bad and dumb (and maybe offer to show detailed progress as it's happening?). If not, just 20x a real estimate?

Or, rather, they want to pretend that the future is knowable, manageable, controllable. They want progress metrics, so they can report that things are either "on track" or that they're acting to fix it. I'm a little sympathetic, even! But pretending doesn't make it so.
