Exactly - I know too many project planners that, once hiccups occur, they keep changing the plan but never the resource needed.
Too many true stories of along the lines of

Engineer : "I'll need at least 2 weeks, once the test gear is available"
Planner : "You've got 2 days, says so in my plan"
Engineer : "2 days !!!!!! We're doomed......."
