Your peers say you try the impossible, your students do not understand what you are doing? This is why:

You should also recall the following before defining deadlines

Hofstadter's Law ("It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.")
Parkinson's Law ("Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.")
The mythical Man-Month ("Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.")
Planning Fallacy ("Predictions about how much time will be needed to complete a future task display an optimistic bias.")
Student Syndrome
Pareto Principle
Finagle's Law ("Anything that can go wrong, will - at the worst possible moment.")

Working in a team? Be aware of these

Dunning-Kruger effect ("Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments.") [2000 IgNobel Psychology Prize winning article]
Peter Principle ("The selection of a candidate for a position is based on their performance in their current role rather than on their abilities relevant to the intended role.")
Generalized Peter Principle ("Anything that works will be used in progressively more challenging applications until it fails.")
Dr Fox effect

If you want to get your project done in time in spite of these obstacles, try this

Structured Procrastination ("... anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment.") [2011 IgNobel Literature Prize winning article]
