The timescale all along has been suggested as 3 months for ratification and then worked backwards that 3 months before 29 March is October. That was always a nonsense. These initial deadlines are put into place to be failed to be met but concentrate minds. Dec 14 is pushing it, an agreement then is close enough to Christmas that people will just be relieved its over, go away for Christmas then come back in new year to ratify.
Parliaments can get awfully prickly when told they have a deadline.
