Project Scheduling and Delay Recovery - field note 027

The office tower in Chennai faced a 14‑day delay due to late delivery of steel from Vendor X.

We introduced a buffer of 5% in the critical path and accelerated the concrete pour to compensate.

• Update Gantt with real‑time data.
• Prioritize tasks with high impact.
• Negotiate faster shipping with Vendor X.
• Allocate overtime for key trades.

Result: Project back‑on‑track with only 2 days of additional cost.
