update clock latency

Pre CTS or placement, clock latency, skew, transition are considered as ideal zero, but tool add clock buffer/inverter in CTS period in order to minimums clock latency/skew/transition as much as possible, clock tree has insertion delay after CTS. Post CTS and post route, comparing to datapath delay change, clock path in launch path ‘stretch’, especially… read more »
