In my case, no, it wouldn't be possible, because I don't know the project's due date in advance. There's a step in the middle of the project that could happen at a pretty arbitrary time, but after it happens, other things have strictly defined relationships. An example along the lines of the original poster's use would be putting something up for sale with a Buy-It-Now option. You have no idea when someone will click the Buy button, but you need to get the parcel shipped within 3 business days once they do.
