Actually, the goal is to estimate as high as possible such that the
project is still given the green light.
If that means giving an estimate that's definitely too low, well,
that's what you give. By the time you push back the deadline, there's
so many sunk costs that they'll deal with it.

(of course, this is because you know the project is worth doing, even
if management is currently unwilling to commit the resources needed.)
