so basically it is **** poor cheap ass planning. If you are running a business and know/expect your customer numbers to go up by 5% each quarter (which the sales buffs will be planning) and know that it is going to equate to e.g. 115000 customers in an area in 6 months which is when the planned upgrade is for, you don't plan to do the upgrade for 98,000 customers which is what we currently have and then say "damn, we have magically got more customers so we are going to have to bang the upgrade date back".
If they planned for extra to start off with then they wouldn't have any of the problems they do now and in a worse case scenario, they would be future proofing the network by having the extra capacity available.
Nobody likes failed deadlines.
