We'll call it the Plesz Citizen's Rule

There should be a new rule.

However long the government takes to complete a service with you, for example however long it takes for you to get your passport from the time you submit your application, and the time it takes you to get any kind of certificate,  you should be able to add up all those delay days.

And whatever that number is, if the government ever claims that you owe them money, you should be able to make them wait that number of days.
