   A project's contract requires the customer to accept the 'final schedule'. The project manager has prepared the final schedule, but the customer is refusing to sign, claiming the schedule shows a project completion date that is 15 days later than the date promised in the project charter. The project manager knows the charter date was an early estimate, and the approved baseline schedule, which the customer signed, had the later date. What is the MOST appropriate action for the project manager?

   • AOffer a discount on the final invoice as compensation for the 15-day delay.
   • BRefer the customer to the approved baseline schedule, which they signed, and explain that the final schedule reflects that baseline.
   • CEscalate the issue to the project sponsor to negotiate a compromise on the completion date.
   • DAcknowledge the charter date and update the final schedule to reflect it to secure acceptance.
