Otis: Anyone else seeing changes in project timelines/budgets?

Starting to notice some subtle but concerning signs across different projects here at Otis. Some clients are pushing back timelines, others are scrutinizing budgets more than usual. It feels like a general tightening across the board, and I'm wondering if this is impacting other teams too. I haven't seen any official announcements or heard direct layoff rumors, but this kind of shift usually precedes some sort of cost-saving measures down the line. Is anyone else experiencing this? Specifically, are project managers, sales teams, or even field operations seeing a significant slowdown in new orders or a change in how existing projects are being managed? Curious to hear if this is a widespread observation or if it's specific to certain regions or product lines. Trying to gauge the overall health of the business from ground level.

Yeah, I'm seeing something similar. Project schedules seem to be getting stretched out, and the approvals for any scope changes are taking way longer than they used to. It's definitely creating some friction with clients, and the budget discussions are becoming much more detailed. It's not just one or two projects, it feels like a company-wide shift in how we're approaching resource allocation and client expectations. Definitely keeping an eye on this.

Can confirm. We've had a couple of clients request renegotiations on existing contracts citing 'market shifts' and 'economic uncertainty,' which has led to tighter budget controls on our end. It's making it harder to get approvals for essential upgrades or even minor scope adjustments. The atmosphere feels a bit more cautious, and there's a general sense of wanting to keep costs as low as possible. Wondering if this is a sign of things to come for the industry as a whole.
