I'm in the same situation as Joyride and i_monk. My agency is constantly taking projects with ridiculous timeframes that my team constantly has to bat back because it's so unrealistic. From what I've seen, it's due to overenthusiastic AM's trying to look good by bringing in all this business but not having a clue as to what's actually possible technically. (you don't think they'd actually speak to their developers or designers, do you?)
Are you noticing that it's for small-ish work as well? We never seem to get bombarded with the rich man's problem of having several multi-million dollar things show up, just loads of "couple of thousand here", "couple of thousand there".
Add several of those to a small team and it's unhappy bunnies all around. Merry Christmas!
