I believe that the main reason that they overestimate is that they don't want any of the staff to be laid off. If upper management would look at the actual workload, they may lay off some people. My employer makes many many billions in profit, so, they are not going to suffer financial hardship from it. They have been cheap on bonuses for our line of business anyways as our systems are all scheduled to go away and be replaced.

I can go on and on how we projected programs and methodology but your employer sounds like a defense contractor
Good luck, it will catch up to them one day as nothing is guaranteed and change is constant
