Milestone contrattuale a rischio con penali · Project Management · Advanced

The case

Your project has a contractual milestone on March 31 with penalties of 5,000 euro per day of delay. Three weeks from the date, three risks materialized together: an unstable test environment, a client acceptance test longer than expected and a reopened critical defect. The current estimate points to a probable 4-6 day delay. How do you manage the at-risk milestone while limiting penalties and reputational damage?
