Nearly every project strays from the schedule from time to time. Some stray by five or ten percent, and others by a much wider margin, which then goes too far off track to correct with reasonable effort. We hope never to reach that point and if we do, it will likely take considerable negotiation with the project client – in terms of discounts, free work or shifting project priorities – to get anywhere close to back on track and hopefully back into their good graces. I’ve been there… it isn’t fun.
