You can easily do that by estimating very wide and delaying the deliverables until the planned date.
I have worked in companies where ownership is somewhat static(same few folks work on a given area of the product) and things get done within 10% of estimates (a lot of innovation too).
I have also worked in terms where ownership is fluid and “resources” get assigned to tasks. Nothing is now “estimatable”. Your experience is probably in line with the latter.
