Does sony own this developer? If not, then offcourse Sony can't impose deadlines. That would be just silly.

Yes they can. It's just like any other IT partnership. If deadlines are required to be met by the publisher/business that's funding a game/project, the developer/IT Shop will then determine if the deadlines are realistic before agreeing to them. If the developer/IT Shop misses some, several, or all of the agreed upon deadline, funding can pulled for the project by the publisher/business. It's pretty standard fare.

Well clearly Sony is the exception. Sony for example OWNS Polyphany Digital, and they seemed comfortable with delays, giving them all the time in the world. Another example being last guardian.

Sony just seems very "non chalante" about these things for some reason.

Doesn't make your initial statement correct. Sony being flexible doesn't mean they can't enforce things. They just choose not to and give more freedom to the devs..especially those like PD who have proven themselves. 

In the case of 2nd party and 3rd party publishing there will be contracts and deadlines in place and they can enforce them if they choose to. It's just Business 101
