The correct path would be D.Corrective action based on causes

Corrective action based on causes. I assume that the proect is on schedule and only the change shall cause delay. Still magnitude cant be judged.

I don't think there is a fixed answer to this question.

This highly depends upon the situations. Any two projects will choose a different option.

This is what I think.

Since project has gone so far, may be it's too late to apply corrective action. The execution phase is either completed or very close to complete.

The last10-15% of a project is just closeout.

Any expert comment please....
