Systems and methods for time-budgeting an integrated circuit design are provided. A representative system includes an information acquisition device, a computer, and a memory element associated with the computer, the memory element configured to store the information and associate a timing point that accounts for signal delays between the border of a functional block and the various circuits within the block. A representative method includes the following steps: acquiring circuit information that describes the conductors that traverse a border of the functional block, inserting a timing point in the information, determining a delay time in response to the timing point, and deriving a constraint in response to the delay time.
