Eating Crow

Many times complications come up during development that require the game to be delayed. This generation especially, where the codes for games are so complex, there is a high chance for a game to come out buggy. Publishers will try to force a release date to meet holiday rush and appease stock holders, but this has negatively affected games. Sometimes, publishers just need to admit defeat and give the devs more time to polish their work.

Every software development team faces that and if it have to be delayed it is because the Project was bad managed / planned.

You are giving excuses to delays... there is no excuses.

This is in every single book/article about Project Management Mistakes.

Are you a AAA dev? If not, I don't think you can comment on how much work it takes to make a AAA game. The publishers are pressuring devs more than any other generation to meet deadlines with the same development time as previous gens, which simply isn't possbile due to how complex games are now.
