It takes longer to get to the point where the change is made to climb thrust, say 1500 feet. So the engine is getting a lower temp application but for a longer period. Which is worse? The higher temp or the lower temp for a longer period?
In some takeoffs I did I found that I was actually at climb thrust, so there was no reduction to make. I don't remember if the assumed temp takeoff thrust calculation took climb thrust into account.
