Hi,
Fitter overconstraints are timing constraints that you adjust to overcome modeling inaccuracies, mis-correlation, or other deficiencies in logic optimization. You can overconstrain setup and hold paths in the Fitter to force more aggressive timing optimization of specific paths.

Thanks.

Thanks for answer, I think overconstraining dramatically increase runtime. I was able to decrease TNS and meet additionally one constraint (from 2 remaining) by simple floorplan with logic lock and design partitioning features, and still going this way.
And if I can ask you - may be you can advise some document which describe methodology of using this features for Quartus Standard 18 or 19?
Thank you again
