Once locked in, Maestro CANNOT change that time, it simply calculates the delay required to get you evenly spread at the field.
I'm with you R-S.
The estimate must be locked in otherwise, if you slow the aircraft to make good the FF estimate without locking in the time, Maestro will start recalculating the "pecking order" for landing and start bumping the aircraft back.
Once the FF is stable then the die is cast (unless the FLOW wants to rearrange things)
