Barrett's First Law of Mechanical Design. Two things can't be in the same place at the same time.
Barrett's First Law of Technical Program Management. People will tend to overestimate the importance of what they're doing now and will underestimate the time reguired to do the remaining tasks. This is a contributor to programs being late.
Barrett's Second Law of Technical Program Management. Get the team moving to a goal in the general direction of where you'll need to go. It easier to redirect the team than it is to get them moving in the first place.

Good Engineers recognize unanswered questions
and ask them.
Better Engineers limit those questions
to those that are pertinent.
The Best Engineers recognize when they have sufficient answers to proceed.
The Very Best Engineers have established a reputation
of being correct, at making that last call.
