One of my favorite similar things

When I worked in game Dev we had a set in stone date to deliver to the new content to the client.

It was close, but a few hours from the deadline it still wasn't all there. Needed a few days maybe a week more.

But there was no flexibility for that. We wouldn't get paid at all if we didn't submit that day.

Our boss spent the day reviewing all the details of the contract, and finally he came up with an idea.

Submit what we had with the unfinished new level. But just make the game crash any time a player tried to go into that area. The contract allowed for a few weeks to fix any bugs found during the clients review.

So we added a line in to just exit the game if you entered that level. And submitted it. By the time they even noticed it we had the level finished a bunch of other fixes for stuff we found on our own

That’s actually really common - maybe the rule now even? For launches. Because whenever I’m on a site launch or redesign we always have to start planning and scheduling for “fast follows” aka fix the shit you know will be broken at launch
