-virtual_input_pin_delay
No default.

input pins in the lower-levels. This is to help guide the lower-level placement and produce a better quality
top-level result.
The value represents the maximum acceptable delay for an inter-partition signal to arrive at the project's
virtual input pin from another module. The value helps guide lower-level placement.
-virtual_output_pin_delay
No default.

output pins in the lower-levels. This is to help guide the lower-level placement and produce a better
quality top-level result.
The value represents the maximum acceptable delay for an inter-partition signal driven by the virtual
output pin to arrive at its destination. The value helps guide lower-level placement.
