Answer to Question 1

The key to identifying and quantifying the impact of a delay with conviction
lies in proper documentation. If a delay occurs while a realistic and up-to-day schedule is
being used, the impact of a delay can be more readily identified. So the main suggestion
is to keep the project schedule up-to-date and carefully document any impacts that are
associated with the delay.

Answer to Question 2

As-built schedules show how and when various activities on a project were
actually performed. The value of as-built schedules is greatly enhanced if there is a
reasonably realistic as planned schedule to which comparisons can be made. Such a
comparison may be quite compelling if most activities took place as planned and the
impact of delays can be isolated

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
