My solution, where possible is to run with one (or more) of the following responses:

- I think there will be some challenges in that, can we take some time to think through the implications of ______ (or how we would deal with _____, etc)

- I think it's a great idea, but we're going to need to come up with a creative solution to solve _______

- I think we're probably under-estimating how much work that is. Maybe there's a smaller version we could start with and progress from there.

- We've looked into this before and got stuck at ________, do we think we've got a solution for that?

I like the phrase "creative solution" here, as a way to introduce what the alternatives are - as in: "I think we'll need a creative solution for ______, or else a revisit to the schedule".
