...because underestimating time is as bad as underestimating cost: it hurts the company financially in the long run. Think about it: does a time pressure improve quality? No - it means short cuts get taken, which means maintenance costs a whole pile more than it should, changes take longer, ...
It's not easy though - without some pressure there is a tendency to "slack off"a bit unless the developer is both well- and self-motivated.

Unfortunately many companies refuse to accept this simple truth.
Because "we have to release now because it's in this quarter's budget. Maintenance is an entirely different account and budget. That's the problem of cost center 1337 and not cost center 0815"
And THIS is, what makes software "bad" sometimes...

That's the problem with companies these days: they are all run by accountants, who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
Short term gains, long term losses - it's all they know, and then they wonder why companies go bust.
