Trying to get a better picture of the timing for my macro. Seems like I'm passing timing at 100MHz but I wonder what
-2.00    8.00   output external delay
comes from. Feels like a placeholder value but perhaps I'm missing something

I think it means it comes from an sdc constraint

Yes. Found it now. So with the simplified flow the user just supplies a clock period which is fed into a base sdc file template. This template also sets input/output delays as 0.2 * clk_period, which adds up to the number I see. I guess my question then would be why this value was chosen
