Project deadlines like this are pretty bad for protect quality. Asking people to grind 80 hour work weeks is honestly stupid. It's bad for your employees, it's awful for productivity (your productivity per hour massively dives), and it's bad for quality because you're over worked and stressed and tired, which is bad for your clients. So if you want to do thing exactly the wrong way, yeah do 80 hour work weeks and serve your clients rushed half baked garbage. If you take your time and do it right, everyone will be happier. People have limits and you can't just push them passed those limits when it's convenient or when someone gives you unreasonable deadlines.
