The tug of war is more often between putting unfinished things into production and some random deadline set by a person who knows nothing about the required amount of work to have a correct result. (Much less decent or maintainable.)
Not negotiable or adjustable too.
Even the sc(r)um approach of cutting features has limitations. At some point the customer will just be unhappy.
