11.3 Risk-Adjusted Timeline
The implementation schedule incorporates a 15% time contingency on critical-path activities (building renovation, equipment installation, and certification). In the event of delays, a pre-negotiated acceleration plan with contractors allows for double-shift work at a pre-agreed premium, reducing potential delays by up to 40%. The earliest possible commercial production date is Month 9 (best case), with Month 11 as the base case and Month 14 as the worst case.
