I’ve been working on some projects in forestry and engineering, and I’m curious how other freelancers handle deadlines when the weather or seasons throw a wrench in the works. For example, heavy rain can delay fieldwork, or winter might limit access to certain sites. How do you plan ahead for these unpredictable factors without missing client deadlines? Do you build extra time into your schedules, or do you have strategies for communicating delays effectively? I’d love to hear what’s worked for others in similar situations.
