Below is a simulation scenario that I am only able to achieve a score of 671 out of 1000. The different options seem to affect performance regardless of the expected outcome. Anyone have suggestions?

Target Completion is 18 weeks with a budget of $42,500.00

My best attempt is on-time completion, but I was over budget at $55,000.

I provided a table below for options.

Here was my decision history
