Yes, but only during the proposal/negotiation phase of the
contract.  If you contract to complete a proposed project by
a certain deadline and do not ensure that the contract is
achievable and has the necessary clauses for schedule
and/or content adjustment in the event of a scope change
or failure of the client to provide agreed-upon resources
(input, review comments, etc.) withing specified turnarounds,
then you have painted yourself into the proverbial corner.
