Nope, you can leave that bit.

This is relevant though. I'd say the important bit of what's above is
the breakdown of the work (the tasks) as you see it, rather than any
exact dates in the timeline.

So, have another read of the project description and the main tasks as I
set out. Now is the time to discuss if that approach makes sense, and
once you're happy with the direction, start to split tasks down in to
more concrete parts.

I realise the performance improvements will be dependent on the
discovery work, so this more applies to the approach to work out what
bits are slow. I can try and help with this, but it's not me who's going
to be doing the work, so it's you who needs to be happy with the
proposed approach.

Given the final application deadline is quite close, I'd look at that
first.
