I forgot to provide the context...

It is "Peter's too much too soon policy differs ..."

Hi Wingche,

Your additional context really isn't much context at all -- not enough for me to be able to explain this expression in the specific context you found it in. Thus, I can only give you a general idea of what this means.

The expression 'too much too soon' can be used, for example, when a lot of something is given to a person before the person is ready for it. It could also be a situation in which a lot of things are done prematurely. When too much is given or done too soon, then what is given or done is not as effective or useful as it could have been if the timing had been more appropriate.
