As a project manager, I live in fear of liquidated damages. Gotta make sure we deliver on time, no matter what!

Haha, I was tempted to go with D) Requirements gap, just to be that guy who picks the weird answer. But B) Late delivery is the correct choice here.

Hmm, I was stuck between B) Late delivery and C) Do not achieve requirements. But B) is the more direct penalty for not meeting the project timeline.

I was going to say A) Over budget, but that doesn't quite fit the description of a 'negative incentive'. B) Late delivery makes more sense.
