The problem is that the default is set to the maximum time and in some cases, that is 21-days.

I like the idea of accounts set to 14-days and then the option of 21-days but without being able to set the default at 21-days. So in order to get 21-days, you'd have to manually select it. But I would prefer to do away with 21-days and go with 14-days.

The problem is that accounts default to the maximum borrow time and if that's 21-days, then most people won't change that. They'll just go with it and even if they finish in 14-days or less it (most cases) it won't be returned until it expires. So there's a lot of wasted time.
