Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm not totally sure, but I think it might have to do with the job analysis and job worth hierarchy. I'll have to review those concepts to figure out the best answer.

Personally, I'd just tell the project manager to 'test' their new release date by shoving it where the sun don't shine. That'll really shake things up!
