If they give themselves plenty of time then customers will say it should be able to be done quicker, if they don't give themselves enough time then customers will complain, if they give themselves the right amount of time but it rains or they can't get a tradie in then customers will complain. So as frustrating as it is not to have a timeline apart from the generous amount of time they give themselves in the contract, it probably causes less pain for them and customers as they're not being disappointed when timelines aren't met for whatever reasons.

When they are just starting out on the build they have no idea what the weather will be like, what tradie availability will be like etc and so it could be 5 months, it could be 9 or it could be anywhere in between. When they have most of the work done they have a much better idea of those things or it affects the build less and the timeline becomes more precise. I'm doubtful that a concreter or blinds place needs to know 6 months in advance what date your house will be completed, a few weeks or a month in advance is probably fine.
