Client project timelines constantly shift causing team deadline chaos

Service-based teams (agencies, consulting, freelancers) receive frequent scope changes and deadline extensions from clients, but existing PM tools dont easily propagate these changes to dependent tasks and team schedules. Teams manually update multiple places or miss changes entirely, leading to missed handoffs.
