Ask What is the best way to set a project timeline that is realistic but still impressive enough to attract clients?

[Edward22]

Setting a project timeline can feel like walking a fine line between being honest and still sounding good enough to win the job. If you give a timeline that is too long, the client might think you are slow or not confident in your own ability. But if you promise something too fast, you risk missing the deadline and disappointing them later on. How do you set a timeline that stays realistic while still sounding attractive to a new client?
