Problem

Scenario

You are leading a product initiative that is taking longer than expected. The original plan was reasonable at kickoff, but delivery is now slipping because of a mix of underestimated work, cross-team dependencies, and changing assumptions. Leadership still wants confidence in the outcome, while the delivery team is concerned about burnout and unclear priorities.

Question

How would you handle a project when the timeline is longer than expected?
