I’m not certain if this qualifies as a planning fallacy, but I’ve noticed a class or problem where a large nebulous task isn’t made actionable, and we just expect it to happen at some point. More an error of “when it will be done by” than “how long it will take.”
For example, my family knew for maybe a year that we would benefit from an exercise machine, and had discussed it many times. It was only when I realized the problem and set a deadline for myself that we actually got it.
