The following examples illustrate the varying contract conditions that define the need for a recovery schedule: • If the project falls behind schedule more than 14 days or 10% of the remaining duration, whichever is less, for non-excusable delays; • In the event that the Progress Schedule Update indicates that the Project, or progress towards any interim milestone, falls 20 or more work days behind schedule; • When requested by the Owner or Engineer; • When the owner determines that the contractor is behind any mandatory specific milestone or completion dates or any interim milestone completion date; • When the contractor determines that the progress schedule requires revision for any reason; and, • When departure from the existing schedule makes it apparent that the project will be late.

After approval of any significant scope change which impacts the total duration of the project, the baseline schedule needs to be revised.

Imho, we should not change the final baseline after scope freeze and final deployment. Scope creeping is usually handles differently. Eacb change should be managed by proper change control mechanism, this will allow us to xompare final baselines with changes made. A change usually do not ask for a baseline revision.

The revision of a starting point for projects is most certainly essential when there are changes in projects and decision making processes. Different plans require different outcomes therefore different consequences are expected when the project doesn't go according to plan and therefore must be weighed according to the extent of these consequences by reviewing and comparing the different approaches to the project proposals

Every schedule, just like every plan, requires constant monitoring and adjustment as situations and project development occurs.

The original schedule is a baseline measure of performance for achieving business objectives.

Schedules, like plans, must be adjusted or revised as necessary to meet changing performance and environments, so that schedule objectives are met timely in order to fulfill the plan.
