Extend the deadline. If the delay isn't minor and/or overtime is not an option, you could
try to extend the deadline. In many cases this is possible, especially when the delay is the
result of a force major nobody could have predicted. No client or boss likes when the
deadline is extended but if this is the least painful option, they will accept it.
Change the scope. Even with best planning, it is not possible to identify in advance the
scope to the last detail. But even if you somehow manage to get such a detailed breakout
before you start, things can always change while the project is in progress. For instance,
if it turns out that a particular task requires much more effort than what you have initially
estimated, or if the task is not as vital as it was originally deemed to be, then you can
exclude this task and the deliverables associated with it from the project scope and still
make it on time. However, don't forget to get the approval of the client for the scope
change before you make the rescheduling.
Include more resources. Another alternative is to put more resources in the project. For
instance, if the project permits it, you can ask other departments for help. You can also
assign more people to the project but always bear in mind that when new people come
into the project, they need to be trained first and get acquainted with the project – you
can't use them right away. Moreover, the risk to make "the mess thicker" increases when
you put new, untrained people and put them under time constraints, so carefully weigh
your choices before including more resources in the project.
Very often it is acceptable for a project to be behind schedule because some delay can be
built into project schedules. In most cases you can adjust the schedule to accommodate
the delay.
