In such a situation, by doing hard work and overtime, the whole team will have to work very well and finish the work by the deadline and this is the only way.

In a situation where a project plan and end date have been established, the project team should focus on executing the plan efficiently to achieve the project's objectives within the specified timeline. Here are the key steps the project team should take:

  1. Project Execution: Initiate the execution phase of the project according to the established project plan. Ensure that all team members are aware of their roles and responsibilities and are working towards the defined deliverables.

  2. Monitor Progress: Regularly monitor the progress of the project to track the completion of tasks and milestones. Use project management tools and techniques to keep track of the project's status and identify any potential delays or issues.

  3. Manage Resources: Efficiently manage project resources, including human resources, equipment, and materials. Ensure that resources are allocated optimally to meet project requirements.

  4. Communicate Effectively: Maintain open and transparent communication within the project team and with stakeholders. Regularly update all parties on the project's progress, achievements, and any challenges faced.

  5. Address Risks and Issues: Be proactive in identifying and addressing project risks and issues. Develop contingency plans to mitigate risks and resolve issues promptly to prevent them from affecting the project's timeline.

  6. Ensure Quality: Emphasize the importance of delivering high-quality work. Implement quality assurance processes to ensure that project deliverables meet the required standards.

  7. Adhere to Change Control: Follow a change control process to manage any requested changes to the project scope or timeline. Evaluate the impact of changes on the project and seek approval from relevant stakeholders before implementing them.

  8. Collaborate and Coordinate: Foster collaboration and coordination among team members to ensure smooth execution of project activities. Encourage teamwork and a positive working environment.

  9. Maintain Documentation: Keep detailed records of project activities, decisions, and outcomes. Document any changes made to the project plan and end date for future reference and lessons learned.

  10. Stay Committed to the Schedule: Stay committed to the established project timeline and avoid unnecessary delays. Proactively manage tasks to meet deadlines and deliver the project on time.

  11. Review and Evaluate: Conduct regular reviews and evaluations of project progress and performance. Use feedback to make necessary improvements and optimize the project's execution

D. Commit to original project scope and open a new project to handle additional work. 

Almost every project has its finishing date so it really doesn't matter when the date is. because all that matter that how the project will be executed and how it will be managed to in a meeting! the dead line in terms of finishing it well within or on time.

 The customer  is most important and their needs should be priority as the project has already commenced. If it will be possible for the team to help one another on certain details that were added during their work time there will be no need for over time. This way the project can still be able to be completed in set time and the client is happy

The best approach in this scenario would be Option C, "Invoke the change control process." This process allows the project team to formally assess the impact of the additional requests on the project timeline and manage them appropriately.

In mi opinion is C "Invoke the change control process" because the change control system is used to assess the impact and consequences of requested changes of the project like project plan changes or deadlines impossed for the stakeholders
