I business agreement isn't an arbitrary date. Those dates should be clearly communicated to engineers.

They are communicated to engineers - in the form of deadlines...

Problem with a lot of deadlines is that you aren’t told if this is a hard requirement because of a contract or some other external factor or just an ego trip or wishful thinking of upper management.

I have seen it plenty of times that management pushed for an arbitrary deadline. The deadline passed, project was not done and nothing bad happened other than another new deadline.
