If you cant change the time line, don't change the scope. This isn't rocket surgery. This late into the project, the scope should be well defined.

I mean, especially in this era of DLC, why the need to increase the scope, anyways? Punt the extra ideas for later release.

I don't think crunch works but trying to define game scope 3 years out doesn't work either.
