What is with managers and unrealistic expectations?

So say a task can be completed in 2 weeks at a normal work day. There is no way to make it be completed quicker, unless you work more hours in the day. Why do managers then try and set deadlines for this task at 1 1/2 weeks then? My thought is it’s a ploy to guilt people into working more hours. Or do you think they are just so not intune with the process they just don’t know? I personally think it’s a form of passive aggressive management style.
