Which schedule shows actions and special efforts required to recover lost time in the approved schedule?

• A. Extension of Time (EOT)
• B. Project recovery
• C. Request for Extension
• D. Recovery Lost Time Incident (LTI)

Answer: (B)

When a project falls behind, the plan that describes the actions and special efforts required to bring the schedule back on track is a project recovery plan. It outlines what needs to be done to recover the lost time within the approved baseline, such as accelerating activities, adding resources, re-sequencing tasks, or overlapping work where possible. This stays focused on returning to the planned completion date through proactive steps rather than simply extending the deadline. An extension of time simply changes the project’s finish date and doesn’t prescribe the recovery actions themselves. A request for extension is just the formal process to seek more time, not the recovery steps. The term “recovery LTI” isn’t a standard scheduling concept and would misframe the idea, since LTI usually refers to Lost Time Injury in safety contexts.
