I think the near deadline should be less than 4-5 years to make your point B valid. 4-5 yrs is the average tenure of a politician, sometimes less. Half the problems in the world will be solved with point B :)

This. The typical plan (if a plan is detailed at all), *is* 5 or 10 years. Which for US presidents, is a bit silly already as it’s beyond their current term; always makes it the next guy’s problem
