I'll never understand how this is possible. Do you lie during standups? do you burn down your time strategically to make it look like you're working over a longer period of time?

Usually the team or company itself doesn't have much to do. For my B2B employer, we are always waiting for the client to get back. And this could take months or even years. B2B world can be extremely slow if you are working on big projects. It needs to go through many layers of bureaucracy for approval.
