Things don't always go as planned. Because managers or superiors always ask for "just tell me when exactly", developers found a way to avoid answering that question. Soon means "I don't know, but I hope it's not going to take me the entire day/week".

If someone knew exactly when they wouldn't have told you soon. In my opinion, you should take it as a valid answer instead of pressuring for a more accurate estimation
