The project owner should be empowered to say no, if agreement cannot be reached. If this doesn't happen, then they are not running projects properly. IMHO I must add.
Yep, that's how it is supposed to be done. But, from my experience, it never is. The stakeholders will manage to add things without adding time. Sometime they allow something to be remove. When doing this, you start to move away from the ideal that was originally envisioned. Hence bugs, bad design, missing features creep in. Then there is the problem that all this was based on someones estimates. And stuff gets cut to allow the project to meet the targets. And testing is one of the favorite things to get reduced. After all, we programmers write bug free code, don't we?

But, I think we are getting off the topic.
