DELAY IMPACT SUMMARY The final website copy arrived three days later than originally planned. Because the production schedule was based on receiving the copy by October 5, the available working window has been reduced. REMAINING WORKLOAD 20 hours remain. At 4 available hours per workday, approximately 5 workdays are required. ORIGINAL DEADLINE CHECK The October 12 deadline is no longer realistic under the stated capacity. Completing 20 hours of remaining work requires approximately five working days. REVISED DEADLINE Starting from October 8, five working days would place the earliest realistic completion around October 14. SCHEDULE RISK Attempting to preserve the original deadline would require additional capacity or rush work that was not originally agreed. RECOMMENDED APPROACH Explain that the production schedule depended on receiving final copy on October 5. Present the revised date as a schedule adjustment rather than a complaint. READY-TO-SEND CLIENT MESSAGE Thanks for sending the final copy. The original October 12 delivery schedule was based on receiving the final content by October 5. With the copy arriving on October 8 and approximately 20 hours of production work remaining, the revised delivery date would be October 14. I'll continue moving the project forward and keep you updated. OPTIONAL FIRMER VERSION Thanks for sending the final copy. Because the project schedule was based on receiving the approved content by October 5, the three-day delay affects the production timeline. With the remaining workload, the earliest realistic delivery date is October 14.
