If you are two parties to some project (e.g. a software product pr feature that should launch time with an investment or business change) that agree to a date, it starts off arbitrary. Everyone wants it as soon as possible, but exactly when is arbitrary.
However once you agreed to it it's no longer arbitrary. It's the agreement. That other part of the business that changes their accounting software or replaces the machine on the factory floor has agreed with you to ship by that date.
Arbitrary but committed to in a sense that would be detrimental to some other part of the business if you miss it. That's not quite completely arbitrary.
