The meaning of「無理のない予定で構いません。」


My Japanese is dubious at best. Online translator tools is saving me most of
the time. But I'll provide some context at least: In a project with our
Japanese business partner we have been running a little bit late in most steps
so far. And I've just provided an estimate (time and price) for the next step.
After thanking me for the estimate he follows up with this:

> こちらの着手から実装はおおよそどのくらいの期間が必要でしょうか？ 無理のない予定で構いません。

When we can start, which is obvious I guess, but that last bit makes me
scratch my head. Is it perhaps a hint that we are requesting too little time
(yet again), or since it comes directly after the question is it just a "There
is no need to rush." kind of thing?

Thank you.

The latter.

> 「無理{むり}のない予定{よてい}で構{かま}いません。」

means:

> "We will be happy with a realistic and no-stress (on your part) kind of
> plan."

That is obviously not a literal translation, but it is what it means.
