A method, system, and program product for designing an electronic circuit. The electronic circuit has a source component, a sink component and a wire connecting the source and sink components. In one aspect, the wire is divided into wire segments and repeater buffers are added to connect the wire segments. The number of repeater buffers is based on the calculated delay of the global net. In another aspect, the metal routes of the wire are widened to reduce delays on a global net. In these ways, the timing goal of the electronic circuit is met, such that an operation in the electronic circuit will complete within one clock cycle.
