Ask What is the best way to explain to a client that the timeline they want is not realistic?

[Edward22]

There are times when a client wants a project done very quickly, even when the work clearly needs more time to be done properly. Saying no can feel uncomfortable, especially if you do not want to lose the job. At the same time, rushing can lead to poor results and stress. It is important to be honest while still sounding respectful. How do you explain that the timeline is too short without making the client feel ignored or pushing them away?
