I said, "To give you some context, the new feature needs more testing."

I explained that we found a problem with the payment part.

I said, "I would rather push it to Monday than ship it broken."

She asked if we could keep the old date.

I told her, "The risk if we rush is that customers see errors."
我告诉她：“如果我们赶，风险是客户看到错误。”
She nodded and said she understood.
她点头说她明白了。
I felt relieved because I was honest.

Next time, I will do the same.

Being clear beats being vague.

And that is how I handled the delay.
