And you don't see what is stupid about that do you?
Programmers give "estimated" completion times, one simple typo in a piece of executed code can delay a programming job at any time.
The reason Windows is fucked up is because it was "completed" "on time".
You think you have a point about programmers yet the real point is that you didn't get your job done because of what you asked for. Think about that.
The programmer woud be happy to do your job in one day and fuck off for 4 days so why would they want to deliver the project late?
Bottom line: if you don't like/understand the nature of programming jobs then read a book and do it yourself. You'll have a new outlook on life after you deal with it yourself.
