"what people do in real situations with real resource constraints"
As this is mostly on-topic for the parent thread... I can respond...
When faced with a painful product launch/schedule, as management messed up resource budgets etc... there are a few actions one can usually take:
1. ignore the issue, accept a 60% probability of failure risk, and naively hope management is replaced
2. adjust current project scope, follow MVP rules, and defer features for v2
3. cull the project, and eject unprofitable/unhelpful members from the team
4. Leave the company before the shite hits the fan
Note, compromising workmanship is not on the list, as a business "Brand" is often more important than non-stakeholder opinions of intangible asset valuation.
