Things like these tend to be easy for outsiders and those who don't
have to pay the consequences if unexpected things happen. So, you can
ask for it and think that it is easy, but my guess is that it is not
going to happen.
Nothing stops you from making such a prediction yourself and submit
that to your funding agency. But now you will have to pay the price
when you get it wrong, which, on a smaller scale, illustrates the
point I made above.
