Stakeholders hate long timelines for design verification and clinical trials. A Gantt chart built from past experience and team expertise becomes defensible. Document where each timeline estimate comes from, and you can justify the schedule even when people push back.

Nobody wants to believe how long design verification will take, and nobody wants to believe how long a clinical trial will take, ever. I do get pushback, but that's where I have enough detail in the Gantt based on past experience and everybody else's expertise that it's realistic whether we like it or not. Anybody who doesn't believe the timeline or doesn't want to believe the timeline or any pushback on the timeline, it's based on not complete, you know, every single detail nailed down, but it's realistic enough to where I can defend it. I can tell you where I got all of these pieces, and we, and we can as a team like it or not like it, but, um, at least it's, uh, you know, the closest to the truth that I can get.
