FORENSIC SCHEDULE DELAY ANALYSIS REPORT ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Prepared in Accordance with AACE International Recommended Practice 29R-03 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Project: CEDARLINE Schedule Updates: 4 Analysis Windows: 3 Analysis Engine: Critical Path Partners Forensic Claims Engine (Python skill) Methodology: Contemporaneous Period Analysis (Windows Analysis) Delay Units: Work days (per project calendar) ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This report presents the findings of a contemporaneous period analysis (windows analysis) of the CEDARLINE project schedule. The analysis examines 4 schedule updates spanning 3 discrete analysis windows to identify, quantify, and attribute project delay to its root causes.
