Hmm, I'm with B on this one. Rushing things could introduce all sorts of problems. Better to stick to the original plan and make sure we deliver a solid product.

But what if expediting the schedule introduces risks? Maybe we should advise the client to continue as planned.

Wow, this is a tricky one! The client wants us to deliver early, but I'm not sure if we can pull it off without compromising quality. Gotta weigh the risks carefully here.
