Behavioral question asking if I delivered on time.

When someone asks this as the follow up do I just mention how I decomposed the problem, communicated changes and plans proactively, before it turns into a blocker or a nasty surprise at the end?

Idk my logic tells me that hitting a date is not at all gonna convince this interviewer? Did I actually deal with so much rework but I still “hit” the deadline?

This is especially true as in our team we’d much rather have something take longer but it is done right which is what this platform endorses lol. Our deadlines aren’t fixed deadlines as long as something is scoped clearly.
