Answer 1

PROJECT MANAGER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SITUATION BECAUSE IT WAS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO MANAG EVERYTHING IN THE PROJECT ( MATERIAL, LABOUR, SUPPLIERS ETC) SO THAT THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED ON TIME. HE IS OBLIGED TO PERFORM HIS FUNCTIONS TO ACHIEVE THE TARGETS ON TIME. EVEN IF THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED AFTER A MONTH AND WORK STARTED AFTER AWEEK FROM SIGNING THE CONTRACT, BUT IT WAS HIS FUNCTION TO MANAGE THINGS AND HE WAS ALSO AWARE OF THE WHOLE PROCESS TO TIMELY COMPLETE THE PROJECT. THEREFORE HE WOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
