Should I go with TDD, when the deadline is tight?

See BDD / TDD criticized (whole thread, not only the pasted text below )

“Each of us needs to assess how best to spend our time in order to maximize our results, 
both in quantity and quality. If people think that spending fifty percent of their time writing 
tests maximizes their results—okay for them. I’m sure that’s not true for me—I’d rather 
spend that time thinking about my problem. I’m certain that, for me, this produces better solutions,
with fewer defects, than any other use of my time. A bad design with a complete test suite is still 
a bad design.” (http://www.codequarterly.com/2011/rich-hickey/)
