I know it's too late for now, but for next time...

I don't like the "obsessive" idea. You're like me, you'd probably rather keep the part an extra 2 weeks because you don't think it's good enough. EVERY telescope I've reworked in the past year has gone twice as long as I quoted, because I kept trying to push it *a bit more*. I was chasing fractions, and the client never would have known, except that they were waiting for their parts back, and I had to go to them tail between legs and explain why it was still not in their hands. No one complains, they're happy that I "care that much", but they'd be just as happy if I gave it to them 3 iterations earlier. If I had quoted them an inflated date because I knew I'd want to hold it longer, then I would have held them EVEN LONGER.

Don't advertise that. Let it be, but don't make it a hallmark. Ask forgiveness when it's later and perfect, rather than permission to make it late and perfect.
