Who's deadline? What happens if you miss it? Sometimes getting it right is the sensible solution even if it doesn't fit the requestors timeline. In the end your team leader will get the blame anyways so have faith or expect a new team leader

Yes, I think you make a good point about the deadline. It's an internal deadline, but I do feel like this team was formed to build this particular feature, so missing it would be a big fail.

Based on that, I feel like the blame won't be on the TL, which is what worries me, but that's probably unfunded/unfair.
