I have constantly found myself in this battle because of some of the unknown issues, there has always been a clash in the delivery timelines. First thing I would do is start by discussing the issues and help find a solution collectively over a call and follow it up with actions that has both the parties involved. As such this hastens things up and you will be able to come to a conclusion and consensus on the time lines. Transparency and visibility I believe is the key for delivery as per plan.
