21. NASA has a term for that

Scottifying the problem. If you know a problem will take 2 weeks or 2 hrs to fix, tell your superiors it'll take 3 - 5 weeks or hours to fix. So if you fix it in two, you're a miracle worker, and if you fix it in 3-5 due to something you didn't plan, you still got the job done on time.
