As unfortunate as this is, there's always a fine line between "shit we're late, better ship the flight software as it is even though we haven't tested it all...oh sweet, it works!" and "...ah fuck, we're fucked!" 52 months with more software testing might be more preferable than launching now and failing the mission. It's a mission manager's biggest dilemma.
