I figure the engineers just inflate their estimates in anticipation of the captain telling them to cut it down, and then the captain expects the engineers to do that and it's a vicious cycle.

I think Scotty told LaForge to do that in a TNG episode

Scotty also does this in Star Trek III...

Scotty: "If you don't have eight weeks, I can do it for you in two."

Kirk: "Mr. Scott, have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?"

Scotty: "Certainly, sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?"

It was Kirk’s reply of : “understood” that always makes me laugh.

…. just the image of Kirk realizing Mr. Scott has been lying to him for decades.
