A major construction project is being planned when it is discovered that a specialized tractor is required for two separate critical activities already planned to take place at the same time. Unfortunately, there is only one such tractor available, and the budget cannot be increased for another tractor. What is the most appropriate action by the project manager?

Group of answer choices

Maintain the original project schedule, and let the two work teams to settle the tractor question in their own way later.

Re$-$sequence the project schedule so that these two activities now take place at different times, and write a report to explain the reason for any project delay to management.

Secretly remove one of the activities from the schedule, and hope that no one else will miss that activity.

None of these options.

Maintain the original project schedule, and proceed to obtain another specialized tractor with funds intended for another project purpose.
