A program manager is responsible for constructing a USS50 million building Management suggests it will take three years to complete The program manager can select a design-build option to optimize the construction schedule to 1 5 years However heavy demand for steel is causing price increases and delivery delays. II this trend continues, it could take as long as 4.5 years to complete construction. You learn that a new technology can yield a definitive delivery schedule of 1 25 years
What is the expected time of delivery?

I feel like I should choose 1.5 years since it’s the design-build option, but the new technology really complicates things. What if the delays push it back?

This question seems similar to one we practiced about project timelines, but I can't recall how to factor in the new technology's impact on the schedule.

I remember we discussed how to calculate expected delivery times based on different scenarios, but I’m not sure how to weigh the impact of the steel price increases.
