My delivery manager says he committed to a date. I’m a software engineer - I never commit to anything, and certainly not dates.

Sometimes external actors set the date for you and it’s your job to figure out how. I worked in health care IT and heath care regulators don’t play around. You can and will be fined heavily for missing deadlines.
