How do projects like movies and video games set deadlines so far ahead? Surely towards the end they’re either crunching to get it ready in time, or sitting on a product that has been ready for a while?

Any project, which doesn’t have to be in the videogame or movie industry will have deadlines.

They’re set far into the future, because people who know what they’re doing and have experience to complete the project, have done their due diligence to determine a realistic timescale of what each element of the project is expected to take.

Let me put it this way. You clean your room / house right?
You know roughly how long it will take you to tackle various aspects, like how long it takes to wash a single dish.

Each team member in a project will have their specialties and roles to complete a portion of a task.
All those tasks add up in time.
The more you do a particular task and know how long it will take, the better you can realistically determine how long it would take overall.
