Reminder Notification for Used Planned Hours to Avoid Overage

Description - Workfront system should send out a notification or planned hours reminder when actual hours are 80% of the task's total planned hours.

Why is this feature important to you - To help keep track of actual hours and avoid overage on the project's budget

How would you like the feature to work - When a user logs time to a task and the actual hour is 80% of the planned hours, the system will send an email to both the project owner and assignee of the task to warn them status.

Current Behaviour - There's no current notification

I still can't quite figure out why Workfront doesn't have a setting that is basically "do not allow logging time if planned hours have been exceeded."

I mean, is it normal to just let someone assigned to a task go over-budget with no warning to either the assignee or the project owner?

Madness.
