When quoting on work, I do my best to say I can have it done by an exact date. I say I need 2 weeks to do my thing (and always at least double it) so if i can get it done in 1 week, I say 2 weeks. If it'll take me a day I say I'll need 2-3 days. An hour, I'll have it to you tomorrow.
Now when the client says they need it by December 10th, and I already said I need a week to do the work, i make sure they are 100% crystal clear on the fact that if they don't have everything to me by December 3rd, there's no way im hitting their deadline unless they're paying a premium / rush fee.
Likewise with revisions / approvals. If you send something and they need it for friday but you dont hear from them for 4 days after you send it and they hit you up thursday with a shitload of changes, you have a right to say that its unreasonable, and requires a premium / rush fee for that work.
You can only go so far pleasing them... youre no good to anyone dead / crazy.
