Deadline and Complications Design

Design escalating complications against a deadline:

Protagonist: {{protagonist}}
Goal: {{goal}}
Deadline: {{deadline}}
Initial Plan: {{initial_plan}}

Design complications:

1. COMPLICATION 1 (Act 1 end)
- What goes wrong first?
- Is it external or self-inflicted?
- How does protagonist adapt?

2. COMPLICATION 2 (Early Act 2)
- What makes the adapted plan fail?
- What new resource or ally is needed?
- Cost of acquiring it?

3. COMPLICATION 3 (Midpoint)
- What fundamental assumption was wrong?
- How does this change everything?
- New deadline implications?

4. COMPLICATION 4 (Late Act 2)
- What feels like total failure?
- What is permanently lost?
- Why continue anyway?

5. COMPLICATION 5 (Pre-Climax)
- What final obstacle seems insurmountable?
- What hidden resource is discovered?

For each complication, write the moment of discovery as a scene beat.
