* Fairly common for non-commercial software with no set schedule. For example, each new version of ''[[{{UsefulNotes/UNIX}} Debian GNU/Linux]]'' distribution is said to be released "when it's ready", which means once in 2-3 years (most others release several times a year). As a result ''Debian'' has a reputation as reliable, but somewhat stale in terms of new features.

* Music/PeterGabriel teased the imminent release of ''i/o'' several times after it missed its 2004 deadline. Most prominently, he stated in 2019 that he expected to "get a record out" in the near future, only for the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic to cause further delays. When the album's lead single, "Panopticom", finally released in January 2023, Gabriel again stated that the album was "forthcoming" without specifying a release date.
