Hah, I bet the project manager is sweating bullets over this one. Talk about a career-limiting move if they can't keep those costs in check. Good luck with that!

Hmm, I'm torn between B) and D). But I think D) is the safest bet - the boss will freak out if we mention the project could get axed entirely. Better to rip the band-aid off, you know?

I'd go with B) as well. The CFO will be more concerned about the financial impact than anything else. Gotta keep the shareholders happy, you know?

D) Project abandonment sounds like the most serious outcome if the costs spiral out of control. We should avoid that at all costs!

B) Inability to achieve expected benefits is definitely the greatest risk here. The business goals are at stake, not just the project timeline or methodology.
