Tell me about a time you pushed back on scope to ship something on time. What did you cut and what did you protect?

Imagine you're baking a cake for a party, but you realize you don't have enough time to make the fancy frosting and decorations. You decide to skip the decorations and just do a simple but delicious frosting so the cake is ready on time. This question is about when you had to make tough choices to finish a project on schedule, deciding what to leave out while keeping the most important parts.
