I'm not sure, but I think the project will still complete on time.

Alright, let's think this through. If the schedule's fixed, then the only way the project can be early is if somebody invents a time machine. I'm gonna go with B - one day late, no magic required.

Haha, I bet the project manager is sweatin' bullets right now. But hey, at least they have a fixed schedule, right? That's like saying 'I have a fixed budget' - good luck with that!

C'mon, it's gotta be C. Two days late on a critical task means the whole project is gonna be two days late. Nothin' like a good old-fashioned schedule slip to keep things interesting!

I disagree, I believe the project will be late by one day.

Hmm, I think the answer is B. If Stephen's task is on the critical path and it's delayed by two days, it'll push the entire project's end date back by one day. Gotta love those critical path dependencies!

I think Stephen's delay will make the project late by two days.
