: When something is done or accomplished at the last minute we might say, "They got in just under the wire".

: There doesn't seem to be any discussion of this in the archive. Any thoughts?

It's obviously a variant of "down to the wire," but not quite the same. I think it's up to you to provide the discussion, Baceseras; you're plainly the right person for the job.
