Nick,
I am not convinced Char are deliberately stringing this along, far from it.
Are they seemingly always "over optimistic" in their timelines ? well on paper obviously that looks to be the case, BUT I think it is far more likely that "they" possibly believed those timelines "at the time" of giving them, but the reality is proving different.
I have seen this happen on more than a number of occasions, where, for example, someone enters the team from outside, with a more "westernized" way of thinking and associated expectations, and hen they slowly learn the hard way that in this neck of the woods you simply cannot, influences outside of your control simply dont tick the same way as "your" clock does. So you kinda go through a learning curve of "how" to word and do things that are more in harmony with the people you are dealing with, and "then" you get boxes ticked in a more timely manner.
I am not saying that is specifically the case here, but all to often I have witnessed just that.
