Be realistic. A plan with no cushion is doomed to failure before you even begin. Allow some extra time, and make your time estimates conservative. You don't want the plan to control you. You control the plan.

Dead-Line Identification

You can easily set a dead line of a complex project with the use of CPM and Gant Chart and Bar Charts for example.

CPM: Critical path. Activity line that takes the longest time to complete.

Gant Chart: Gant chart is a bar chart. You can see what's ahead and what's behind. Separate activities are listed on the left (vertical axis), and the actual time across the bottom (on the horizontal axis).
