However I don't want to commit to September and fall short on the schedule.
I believe we may finish early but I don't want to promise the customer an fall short upon delivery. 聼起來自然嗎?

What I want to understand is "fall short". I undernstand it means to move schedule ahead, but I just want to make sure if it sounds natural.
I googled "fall short on", but it looks like this is common usage, though this was written by navite speaker.
Does it sound natulal? If so, which is more natural "move schedule ahead", "fall short of/on", or any other sounds?

"Fall short upon" and "Fall short on" sound natural. "Move schedule ahead", "Fall short of" do not sound natural.

And "falling short upon delivery" means "failing to deliver on time"

Just confrim.
"fall shout upon the schedule" also means "fail to make it on schedule.", correct?

Not sure if you meant it, but "Just confirm" is incredibly rude

That's correct

So what is the best way to simply say "confirm if my understanding is correct"?
Is "just to confirm" better because I found a lot on google search.
What's the difference of sound betweem "Just confirm" and "Just to confirm"?
